It's the adventure of a lifetime. You in?
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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'
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #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&
Go The Distance
GTD #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
Go The Distance
GTD #10 We're making progress: Sendō is finally becoming a real idea. Running is the heart of this crazy story and with each chapter I'm figuring out the details. Running has turned my brain back on. Meditation practices have gotten better, sleep is deeper, I'
Go The Distance
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
Go The Distance
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
