Addict II Athlete

Addict II Athlete Our Links- https://linktr.ee/addicttoathlete Mental Health and Addiction support & Resources This has become a pivot point in our new way of life.

We are a group of friends, peers and family members who all have one thing in common…addiction. By knowing an addict, having been affected by addiction or being in recovery ourselves. We have come together to help one another with the outcome from all angles of addiction. We have found a new way of life, by exercising and becoming physically fit. We are here to carry the message of recovery and change the outlook of the word… addict. To show that there is hope for every individual affected by addiction out there. We have adopted the philosophy of Erase and Replace, defined as; erasing our addiction and replacing it with something of greater value (ie. healthy living, friendship, family, respect, and compassion). Our goal is to spread the message of recovery to the addict and family of the addict who still struggles and to show that we have discovered a more excellent way to live. We wish to redefine the public’s view on addiction and recovery. Many individuals have been told there was no hope for them, “Once an addict always an addict”, that we would never change. Unfortunately this is a common viewpoint. This belief is simply not true, we are living proof that change is possible, all we need is an opportunity and we have found it by moving from an addict to an athlete. We are here to put addiction and recovery in front of everyone’s minds and to redefine who we are as producers and creators of something bigger than ourselves. We are here to take a stand and to make a difference, showing we are good people and are living proof that overcoming addiction begins at the starting line as we take strides alongside one another, in unity, to cross that finish line together, knowing that we are the best athletes in our world.

Sometimes the most powerful victories are not measured by the clock, but by the humanity we show in the race itself.

Today at the Runtastic NEBO half marathon, Addict II Athlete’s Jason Jensen stops to help another who has fallen across the finish line. It becomes clear that the essence of running and of recovery is not always about time. It’s about presence, compassion, and the strength to lift someone else when they can’t stand on their own.

In that moment, the stopwatch fades, and what remains is a reminder that true endurance is not defined by how fast we finish, but by how deeply we care along the way.

This act transforms the finish line from a measure of speed into a symbol of shared resilience, proving that sometimes the greatest race we run is the one where we choose people over performance.

Thank you Athlete Jensen.
Coach Blu

Congratulations Corey Skinner for being September’s Athlete of the Month! This is his story…

We all have challenges to overcome. Some are larger than others but they are all challenges. To each individual the weight of these challenges is felt differently. Helping others is how I push forward in my journey of challenges. I started out with pacing.

A pacer helps someone reach a goal in their running journey. We encourage and inspire other athletes who don’t have the courage or confidence in themselves to accomplish these goals. We get them to that finish line! It’s definitely a different mind set because as a pacer you aren’t doing the race for yourself but for the athletes you are helping reach that goal that they themselves think to be unreachable. Thank you Run Your Race Pacers, Utah Race Pacers, and Beast Pacing for the opportunity to pace over 200 half marathons.

My next help is loaning my legs! It started out with sweet Elsha aka the Elshinator! Then our circle started to widen and we met Reese aka the Reeseman! As our circle continued growing we met the Robison’s. Most of you already know their story. Miss Emma aka the Emma-gizer, in her bright orange racing chair. Miss Abigail aka Houdini or Miss Sassy Pants! There are others who we have helped and continue to help in this journey we are on.

This honor continues to grow. Along with my personal growth our family has grown extensively because we have our chosen family here within this amazing running community. I would like to thank these friends/families along with the KPF (Kyle Pease Foundation) for trusting me with their sweet angels racing and running with them to share the joy of running and the awesome experiences we share and continue to share for many more races to come!!

As I think about my most memorable experience with AllA, I really don’t have just one that stands out, but if I had to choose, it would be anytime I go to or participate in an event; I’m always welcomed as one of the family, no one judges, no one uses my past against me, everyone just wants to be friends!

Today, on National Overdose Awareness Day, we pause to remember the lives lost, honor the families forever changed, and stand with those still fighting.

Addict IIAthlete was built on the belief that healing, hope, and second chances are possible. Behind every statistic is a story, a loved one, a teammate. Today we carry their memory forward—not in silence, but in strength.

Together, we break the stigma. Together, we choose connection over isolation. Together, we honor those we’ve lost by helping others find a new way forward.

💜 If you are struggling, you are not alone. Reach out. Speak up. There is a team ready to run beside you.
