Dustin and Aimee have been avid runners since marriage. On Aimee's "bucket list" was to complete a marathon. When she began training she asked Dustin to join. He did, and they completed their goal of finishing together in under 4 hours at the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee in April 2004. They both swore they would never, ever do it again....
Dustin has completed 23 Marathons, 4 Ultra Marathons, 1 Half Ironman, and will participate in his first full Ironmnan in Louisville, Kentucky in August 2014. All 22 of his road marathons have been completed in under four hours with a PR of 3:03:20 at Houston, Texas in January 2012. He has qualified for, and ran, the Boston Marathon twice (2009, 2013) and has completed a marathon in 13 different states. In 2012 Dustin joined Marathon Maniacs by completing 6 Marathons in 6 Months in 6 different states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota) and went on to run 10 marathons that year completing the last 3 (Chicago, St. Louis, Springfield, MO) within 5 weeks of each other. Over the last year he has began competing in triathlons and is a USA Triathlon member. Dustin has shared his love of running with others by creating a club at his school to challenge students and staff members to log 250 miles during the school year. Now, he is forming 5k and 10k training groups to help others accomplish their goals and find joy in running. If you are interested you can find out more about his training groups here.
