Run Like a PIRATE: Push Yourself to Get More Out of Life

By Adam Welcome

You CAN Achieve Your Goals

Twelve marathons in twelve months might sound like a lot of running, but that's the goal educator, speaker, husband, and dad Adam Welcome set for himself in 2017. Some people thought he was crazy. Plenty of people told him it couldn't be done. Adam ignored the naysayers and dug deep within himself to find the resolve to cross all those finish lines.

It was hard. It was thrilling. It was worth every mile

Whatever your personal or professional goals are, Adam's example and encouragement will challenge you to set your sights on something bigger and to push yourself to get more out of life.

Set your goal. Believe in yourself. And get started today.

Mixed Feelings but So Glad I Read It

I love a book that changes me even when I don't 100% agree with every part of the book. This is that book. It was absolutely worth reading and has a powerful ending. It has helped me improve some of my fledgling habits and has helped me clarify my priorities. I have heard other people say that it was helpful even for non-runners but since I read the book with an intention to returning to running, I can't speak to that. The advice that Adam gives has gotten me out the door on the days when I didn't really want to and I'm always glad I did.
