GTD #9: LIVE
GTD #9 We're doing it live. I've been daydreaming and thinking of this idea for the last two years. I have even less confidence that this could work but I've got nothing else left. It's sink or swim. The private button has

GTD #8: Activated
GTD #8 March 2nd, 2024 to April 9th, 2024 This chapter's highlight is a 10K trail race. It was on the Rocky Hill Ranch property in Smithville, hosted by Tejas Trails. It was beautiful! The trail race had beautiful rolling hills, epically old trees, babbling brooks, the list

GTD #7: It's About That Time
GTD #7 Didn't run a single step this month. Totally embarrassing. But emotionally I feel like I've grown as a person, and I've made a lot of changes for this chapter that I think will really work going forward. Still talking into the void,

GTD #2: Revival Time
Go The Distance #2 I have an upcoming half-marathon in 6 weeks but I didn't run a single step this month. Yikes. That said, I ain't never gonna stop. I will run this race, even if I finish last, even if it kills me, even if

GTD #1: Out of the Backwoods, Into the Fire
Update: July 2024 The spirit behind Sendō was to evolve from deadbeat to actual human but the first year of this project just confirms that I was a total mess. But there's hope: through self-reflection, therapy and a couple more breakdowns, I came up with seven goals to
