Hello and welcome to ThatDadLadd! My name might give a hint, but this space isn’t just about fatherhood. It’s about the journey of life, the adventures we choose, and the growth we encounter along the way. Rooted in the breathtaking landscapes of Colorado, this platform serves as a beacon for everyone—from local outdoor enthusiasts to those across the globe—seeking a blend of personal tales, fitness milestones, and the sheer joy of the great outdoors.
Journeying through life has its ups and downs. My personal goal of achieving a running time under 4:50 minutes per mile (my PR set when I was 18) is just a snippet of the stories you’ll encounter here. Through this platform, I’ll be sharing genuine accounts of my fitness endeavors, challenges faced due to ADHD, depression, parenting, and health issues like diabetes. Why? Because authenticity is the heart of ThatDadLadd. Your experiences, struggles, and triumphs are just as pivotal, and I hope this space offers a sense of camaraderie and understanding.
But it’s not all about the challenges. The beauty of the Colorado outdoors, and the thrill of hiking, camping, skiing, and more await you. I’m here to guide, recommend, and occasionally challenge you (did someone say 5-10k races around the USA?). Through affiliate marketing, I’ll also provide insights into the best gear and products that have genuinely enhanced my outdoor experiences.
So, whether you’re here for a dose of motivation, to share your own narrative, or simply to explore the myriad wonders of outdoor activities and personal development, you’re in the right place. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together, celebrating every choice, every mile, and every adventure.
