This weekend, my incredible wife, Jamie ( )conquered the Burning 🔥 River 🌊100 Mile Endurance Run—crossing the finish line in 24:02:55. She placed 7th female, 1st in her age group, and 28th overall… all while shattering her 100-mile PR by nearly 8 hours! 🙌What most people don’t see are the battles fought in the shadows. This year, she’s endured the loss of her father and uncle, food poisoning before Mohican, and the discovery of severe anemia after grinding through 40 of the 100 miles at Mohican on nearly no fuel. Just 2.5 days before Burning River, she received her first iron treatment—leaving her fatigued until race morning.Yet, on race day, God’s hand was evident. We overhauled her fueling, prayed for strength, and watched His blessings unfold mile after mile. She ran with a power that wasn’t her own, a strength that came from above.💪 To go from surviving Mohican to thriving at Burning River—only a month apart—is nothing short of miraculous. Watching you, Jamie, push through pain, loss, and weakness to glorify the One who made you was beautiful.You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).You are tough as nails yet washed white as snow by His nail-scarred hands.Jamie you are absolutely incredible.I love you and am so proud of you, both on and off the trail.This victory belongs to Him. All glory to God! ✝️❤️
