Phillip shares his story of running/power hiking Rim to Rim to Rim - a 48 mile journey through the Grand Canyon on April 13th. It's really two adventures rolled into one story. The 1st adventure details the planning and coordinating leading up to. Everything from forgetting his running shorts, trying to catch a bus that doesn't start running its route until May, needing to sleep in his car because his time share was 2.5 hours away, and underestimating the weather down inside the canyon.The 2nd adventure details the actual running of Rim to Rim to Rim with a total time of 16:51 and a total moving time of 12:18. Through the breathtaking views and challenging 11,000 feet of elevation gain, Phillip was able to “Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.”Before talking about the great aforementioned adventure, we spent some time talking about his first time as a Race Director with the Red Cedar Half Marathon Trail Run at Giant City State Park. Make sure you look for the 2023 version of the event if interested in jumping in on the fun next year!#PushYourLimits Register for Shawnee Hills: use code "rtssave10" for a discountWebsite: runtosucceedsports.comFacebook: @runtosucceedInstagram: @runtosucceedEmail: LaceUpandRunPodcast@gmail.com

https://youtu.be/4kBKx38HNzs David Daugherty, 42 years old, met his wife in 1991 as a high school freshman and they have been married since 1995. They have 4 children ages 22, 19, 16, and 14- 3 boys and 1 girl, who is the 19-year-old. David has worked in supply chain since 1998 as both a technical application developer and a processes engineer. He is a campus pastor for a video campus that live-streams their main campus service. David played football and wrestled in high school. He wrestled 1 year of college before changing schools. In 2007, he re-launched the local kids wrestling program in his town which had dwindled down to just 2 8th grade wrestlers. His program is for K-8th grade and is the feed and fundraising wing of the high school program. They typically have 35 - 45 wrestlers each season and about 30 of them compete in 1 or more tournament. During this time they have had 9 wrestlers qualify for the IKWF state tournament and 2 top 8 finishers. They started hosting a tournament in 2011 which is their biggest work effort and primary fundraiser. David hopes to continue to lead the program for years to come. In 2014, David's son joined the middle school track team and took up Pole Vault. This is a unique event that most schools in his area don’t have a lot of coaching for. By the end of the 2015 season, David was doing his best to learn this new sport in order to coach his son and his teammates. That summer David found a college that would allow them to use their fieldhouse for indoor practices after the season. They continued to practice in the summer and his youngest son began to practice as well. David is now the volunteer PV coach for the middle school. He also works with his high school son and his teammate. In the last 4 years the middle school has had 8 state qualifiers, 3 top 8 finishers and this season David's 8th grade son was the state champion. Both high school vaulters qualified for the state meet this season. While he loves working with his own boys and seeing them do well he also hopes to build a school tradition in this event that outlasts their years of school competition. Recent numbers and future races: Deadlift - 425 50 Miles - Tunnel Hill 2017 11:51 2 50K races coming up in 2018, Shawnee Hills 100 8/25, Walking Tall 10/20 Planning to run a 5K and a half marathon during my summer training to get updated PR’s Goals: Complete one of the 50K races in under 6 hours.
