It's the adventure of a lifetime. You in?
The Challenge
Lazy training month, lazy creative month, but the most consistently human I've been in years. The point remains that the art of running, both physically and mentally, leads me back to life. But where the heck am I going?
The Challenge
Your boy ain't exactly a rocket ship yet but it's proven (again) that sticking with a long-term training program helped me evolve and approach my dreams.
The Challenge
Sendō #20 In the final weeks of my first Hal Higdon training program. I've even got a 5K race coming up in the first week of June! I'm listening to my body with each step and not rushing to complete a marathon just to cross it
The Challenge
Sendō #19 Ran like hell this chapter. What changed? I finally decided to be myself. I resented it, avoided it, protested it. Distanced myself from the people that were close to me because I didn't want to be me. But we can't escape who we are
The Challenge
Sendō #18 Feels like I'm finally starting to "get" life. At least how it feels from my corner of the universe. This was a great month for golf, not so much for running. But getting into something new has revealed (again) that fear is my biggest
The Challenge
Sendō #17 Didn't run the marathon. It came down to one thing: I didn't train enough. I should've started my training plan earlier and even when the weather was cold as shit, I should've stuck with it. No clue when my next
The Challenge
Sendō #16 Holidays are tough. Lots of family time, long events, distant travel and big money spent. But on the positive side...lots of family time, events, travel and money spent making your loved ones happy. Sure it pisses me off that I'm feeding the corporate beast once

Sendō #15 Only ran three times this month and my first marathon is in February so that's pretty bad but in my soul I feel like this is going to be a great few months. Time to finally grow up and stick with the hard work. That'
The Challenge
Sendō #14 Can't believe it's November. Even Texas is starting to feel chilly... A sad amount of runs this month but on the flip side I did the longest bike ride of my life: 25 miles. Running gets boring AF after a while so through cycling
The Challenge
Sendō #13 Another major evolution to Sendō - this is almost good enough to share with real people. Didn't run the half-marathon I wanted to in September but every single inch of this website and my mind are getting sharper. Maybe I'll make it out alive
The Challenge
Sendō #12 Most runs I've ever done in a month and the most energy I've put into something meaningful in years. Going on Autopilot helped me survive the grind of everyday life but that time is over. I'm leaving behind a life that wasn&
The Challenge
Sendō #11 The idea makes sense, I'm consistently training and hope feels real. Truth is, I thought I could get out of the black hole on my own, but it took being vulnerable and asking for help that led to meaningful progress. We can't do everything
