What a gift to watch your wife become a superhero. Thereās nothing Gia believes you canāt do - youāre her food, her favorite show and her comfort. Thank you for being a wonderful mom, we love you.
Here are some things I want Gia to know about being a Serrano.
1. Weāre fun
2. We do hard things with a smile
3. We speak life into others
4. Weāre not always right (unless we are)
I passed the four hour pacer (goal time was under 4 hours) early in the race and was left to my thoughts for the rest of the run. What do you think about when youāve already hit your goal and still have 3 hours left to run?
I kept thinking about the example I wanted to set for my family. I knew it wouldnāt be the time I ran or the shoes that I wore, or hundreds of miles I ran leading up to it - it would be that I finished.
In that time I settled with the four words that I shared above: joy, perseverance, faith and confidence. All of these are fruits of a life well lived and have nothing to do with hitting some arbitrary time.
( I will continue to set arbitrary goals though )
2026 LA Marathon as a spectator and couldnāt be more inspired by the community here. Running is a selfish pursuit when it keeps you away but becomes a community when you bring people in!
So proud of Lloyd and Eddie, my high school best friends for finishing their first full marathon.
I love LA. I love running and I love cheering on my people. Time to go home to my girls.

Freshly 31 and a month into being a dad, here are some things I learned in my 20ās:
- How you do the small things, is how youāll do the big things (apply to all)
- Good friends are a gift, treat them as such!
- Gratitude is the enemy of greedā¦youād be surprised how little success you need to get greedy
- Happiness is fleeting, joy is choice
- If I donāt choose humility, it will be handed to me
- Love is obvious, donāt look for it in the secret!
- Pull weeds habitually! (Weeds are seemingly pretty things that only drain you, but youāre convinced are harmless)
- Talking may get you in the door, but proving it keeps you there!
Iām sure Iām missing some, but this is all from the book of Proverbs. My grandma would read a chapter a day to me as a child. Itās shaped me in my lowest moments and grounded me at my best! 10/10 recommend reading. Ok byeāš½
7 years of marriage and a decade of friendship, I am better everyday I am with you. Grateful for all the steps that led me to you and for our baby girl arriving soon. I love you to the moon and back. š
Many of you were concerned that all I do is run, hereās my answer!
Thank you to @champssports & @nikerunning for having me be a part of this weekend! Happy to see the running community get bigger, but feel smaller. Big preesh to @hoteatscoolfeets for bringing me on and my @deadstockrunclub & @ryhsuuu fam for pacing my fastest 5K to date!
#SportForLife
Also yes your worst nightmares have come true, Iām a running influencer now.
I love @deadstockrunclub and I will take my shirt off anytime @ketanmorris points his camera at me.
