863. Love on the Run with Mica Rivera & Adam Wood

"Running can feel pretty isolating. It's a very individual sport. But she's in it with me every single day. It makes me feel very special. She really cares about what I'm trying to do."

Welcome to Love on the Run 2026! We're kicking off Valentine's Week with Utah-based high school sweethearts Mica Rivera and Adam Wood. Mica and Adam are content creators and marathoners who were on the same high school track team, went to separate colleges to run (her to Utah State University, him to Brigham Young University), and are now married and running together for a living. Adam just ran a marathon PR at CIM, finishing in 2:16:58. And Mica, who is coached by Ed Eyestone, made her 26.2-mile debut at The Marathon Project in December (paced by Adam!), where she ran 2:31:35.
