After weeks of setbacks and some disappointing runs, progress was made today. 15 miles. Marathon training has definitely tested me, but today was a reminder to keep showing up and keep moving forward.

Recently finished Introduction to the Spiritual Life by Brant Pitre. A thoughtful reminder that the spiritual life is not simply about knowing our faith, but living it—through prayer, virtue, and the daily effort to become the person God calls us to be. A worthwhile read.

Yesterday I had a great time at the EducationPlus 5K Run/Walk! I chose to run and was happy with a decent time for my first race since finishing PT. Even better, I got to run it alongside some good friends. @TedHiff, @EducPlus

I recently finished The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. One idea that has stayed with me: other people’s actions, choices and reactions are not mine to control. There is freedom in accepting that and focusing instead on what I can control—my own choices and response.

The past two days have been full of learning, collaboration, & preparing for a great school year ahead. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside so many wonderful colleagues as we continue working together to help every student be successful. Excited for what’s ahead!

Finished reading Basil Moreau: Founder of Holy Cross by Gary MacEoin. What struck me most wasn't just Moreau's vision for education, but his perseverance through years of criticism and disappointment. "The mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart."

Two months without running. Eighteen weeks until the Indianapolis Marathon. Today the training officially began. Ran six miles without stopping for the first time in months. Back to work. @indymonumental.bsky.social

Just finished The Data Book for Educators Who Don't Like Data by Michael Roberts. Easily the best book on school data I've read. Practical, thoughtful, and full of ideas I'll carry into the new school year. Highly recommended for school leaders. @solutiontree.bsky.social

A leadership book should leave you with more questions than answers. From Leading to Succeeding by Douglas Reeves did exactly that. It challenged me to think less about activity and more about impact. That's a worthwhile reflection heading into a new school year.

One lesson I took from Coffee with the Custodian: culture isn't built through programs or slogans—it's built through relationships. Every interaction matters, and trust remains the foundation of a great school. @SolutionTree, @drbradjohnson.bsky.social

Just finished The Anxious Generation. It reinforced a simple truth: kids need play, friendship, independence, and the chance to learn from mistakes. As an educator, it left me thinking about how we help young people develop confidence and resilience.

Grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow school leaders through SLSEPA. Good conversations, new ideas, and a reminder that strong schools are built by people willing to learn from one another. @SLSEPA1, @MoAESP, @NAESP

Just finished the U.S. Constitution. Reading primary sources is one of the best ways to better understand history.

Just finished rereading My Life with the Saints by James Martin, SJ. One takeaway that stayed with me is the idea that we spend too much time trying to be who others expect us to be instead of becoming who we were created to be. A good reminder heading into a new week.

Yesterday’s half marathon was fun and fast—one of those days where everything just clicked. Today’s recovery run… slow, heavy, and a bit miserable. @fit_leaders

St. John Baptist de La Salle. Pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts. Forever.

Just finished A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. Not really an outdoors person, but I enjoyed it. Great storyteller—made something I wouldn’t normally be into worth reading.

Tonight’s volunteer appreciation event at the Gateway Food Pantry was a reminder that this work only happens because of people who care enough to show up and serve. Thank you to our volunteers for the time, energy, and heart you give to others. I’m grateful for all you do.

.@HolyHalf training continues. Pretty pleased with my splits today.

I finished Just Look Up. It focuses on what kids need to hear—but the truth is, adults need those same things too. To be noticed. To be encouraged. To be reminded they matter. Good reminder for me to slow down, look up, and be more present with the people around me.

Went to Mass this morning and ended up meeting Robbie Avila. Really kind, humble, and gracious with his time. Always a good reminder—you never know who you’ll run into, but how people show up always matters.

Spent some time at the Chapel of Saint Vincent de Paul—a beautiful and meaningful space. The architecture, the details, and the history all stand out. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down for a bit and take it all in. Glad I had the chance to visit.

Just finished Leadership from the Inside Out (2nd ed.) by Kevin Cashman. A good reminder that leadership starts with self-awareness and purpose — not just strategies. Always grateful for books that push me to reflect on who I’m becoming, not just what I’m doing.

Patrick R. Keenoy @drkeenoy.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Just finished In Praise of the Useless Life by Brother Paul Quenon. A quiet, grounding reminder that a life doesn’t have to be productive to be meaningful. Presence matters. Faithfulness matters. Not everything of value can be measured. @avemariapress

Three weeks off for recovery. Not ideal, but today was about showing up and seeing what was there. Finished under 2 hours. Grateful to be back moving, even if it wasn’t perfect. Onward.

After three long weeks of wearing the cone, the Prince of the City is officially free! Today’s follow-up appointment went great, and Alfred is back to ruling his kingdom in comfort.

Finished The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. Grateful to Dave Meschke for the gift. Lots to think about—slowing down, being present, and choosing what really matters. A perspective I want to carry forward.
