Publix Half Marathon - Step 1

We got to the race site at 6 am thinking that was plenty of time to get ready. Well so did all the other 18,000 or so participants. We couldn't find anyone we were looking for and somehow we found our way up to the front of the starting line. The music was intense and we were pyched up to go. Then the starting sounds came and we were off to the race.

We were so eager to get out there that we flew through Mile 1, against the better advice of our coach Matthew Rose, didn't matter though. We were so pumped we just kept on going. The day got tougher as it wore on but as we came past a group of our friends in Virginia Highlands the emotions were high and our legs started moving quicker

We came up on the final sections of the course and Evan and I were both struggling to finish strong. We looked down and Kyle was struggling too, the day had wore on his body and he was ready to finish just like the rest of us. Then we heard it and next we saw it but the final strech of road to the finish line. At that point, Kyle extended his arms and let out a piercing yell as we approached the finish gates. I can promise you this...anyone near us at that moment knew how amazing it was for us to cross that line as one that day, and what a day it had been.
The support was amazing throughout the day, and not just from our friends and family. Everyone who passed by us had something to say to us, in praise or encouragement of what we were trying to do. The finish was a mob scene of supporters all eager to congratulate Kyle.
We cannot thank everyone enough for the support that has continued to pour in and we cannot wait to continue this amazing journey together. Thank you all for everything!

What a day!!! I'm not sure I can properly put it into words what happened yesterday. Not sure we could have pulled it off without the tremendous amount of support both on and off the course. From our sponsors to our family, and of course all our awesome friends, who came out at 7 am just waiting for us to come by, the support did not go unnoticed. I know being a part of Team KPeasey was pure magic and I can't wait for the next one. Thanks again everyone!!

The race was absolutely amazing. To be out there with my bros was incredible. My positioning in the jogger was a key to my success and it was helpul to us that we got everything adjusted the night before. The support from everyone racing in a KPeasey shirt was super cool to see and every spectator on the road was awesome. Evan and Brent made sure to keep me fueled and hydrated and the roadies out there with me made sure I knew how awesome we were doing. When it was all over and I had my medal all I could think about was, "Which race is next?"
Thanks to everyone for all you have done to be a part of this and we look forward to the next one!!!

Closing In

So we are a little over a week away and things are really getting exciting. While our feature on the news was entertaining and special, it opened my eyes to a new feeling.

I always love hearing people compliment my twin bro-- but sometimes I let it pass without thinking. What can I say? To me he's just like any other 26 year old. Lately it has been much more impactful. Since I am a part of this special endeavor, compliments and well wishes have hit me deeper. It is truly amazing to see what an impact Kyle has on people. I am especially proud to be a part of this race and from all if us on Team KPeasey: Thank you!! It does NOT go without notice and thanks. See y'all at the finish line!!

On the eve of the Charles Harris Race

Hello. I hope everybody had a great week. I am so grateful for each and everyone of you's support throughout this process. We have decided to pick up an extra race to get practicing with our new jogger. We will be participating in the Charles Harris Race for Leukemia. It should be a blast. The jogger is very cool, and I will post a picture in just a few. This will be a great experience for Team Pease as we try to work out the kinks and make sure that I am completely comfortable in the jogger.

Here is our first practice photo with the jogger:


Team Pease wishes everybody a great weekend, and below is another chapter of "What does the KPeasey Bracelet mean to you" from a very good friend of mine, my man, Pauly P. He has been so kind in naming his son after me. So, little K, here's to you!

The K Peasey bracelet means more to me than I could ever put in words. It symbolizes everything that can be accomplished by a human being if they put their minds to it and it also shows the most difficult adversities that life throws at you can be overcome with dedication, persistence, and perseverance. Whenever I need inspiration for myself or others I look at the Blue Bracelet that has been on my wrist since June of 2009. The Blue Bracelet to me represents Kyle Pease and every amazing quality he stands for. Kyle has to deal with hardships on a daily basis that most could not even imagine yet he still lives each day to the fullest and makes the most out if it. We all love you and strive to be the man you have become. You are truly the most inspirational person I have ever met and I am damn proud to wear the K Peasey bracelet on my wrist every day. Keep on keeping on my man.
