Rise Again From The Struggle

Men are way more emotionally intelligent than we get credit for. That's because people are confused. It's not emotionally intelligent to constantly show your emotions.

In fact, that's the complete opp…

Honest question 🤣

For real, though. You blast your nervous system with input all day and never let it cycle down and recover. Then you wonder why you can't seem to feel with anything...

Your systems ne…

If you feel the need to get revenge, you're being led by the devil.

Haters will hate. Doubters will doubt. If they are the ones you are trying to prove something to, they own you. You're their slave. …

Well, I made a poor choice, and it might cost me a good race this weekend.

Oh, well. It's my own fault. If my feet slow me down, I won't have to wonder what happened 🤦‍♂️

I'm not laying down, though. I…

This principle is universally applicable.

For those who know anything about running, taking seven plus minutes off of a 5k within three months is pretty damn good.

I don't say that to brag. I know it's…

I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I know it's not the norm.

I don't believe you need to forgive anyone for anything. You are the only person who controls your mind. So, if you let someone…

Listen, things happen. And most of the time, you had a part in it, too.

That was my story today. I mixed up my race bibs and didn't get my official 5k time at first.

I owned the mistake and asked the g…

Holly bush of life 😂

Nature has a way of giving lessons in the oddest ways.

That's why I love being outside and being in nature.

Sometimes, you just need to shed the extra baggage that you allowed to gr…

You need to be willing to try something and fail.

I know. I'm a broken clock. I get it.

But it's true. I spent money on a new tool and took time to test the method I thought would be the best option i…

Mental health is a scam. Yeah, I said it.

Very few people have true mental health issues.

You can pretend that's not true because modern psychologists need consistent patient loads.

But it's true. Most …

Reps only matter if they have intent behind them.

You can do something forever and think you're doing it right, but how do you know?

Are you measuring it along the way? Do you have a plan? Or are you h…

Not all workouts need to be in a gym.

The reality is that most people need to work out in a gym because it replaces the human experience.

Your body is meant to work. It's meant to be used all day.

I've …

I've had so much more energy after switching things up with my macros again.

I tried a full-on carnivore diet (well, animal based, really since I was drinking milk), and my psoriasis was acting up a l…

Running is a gift. I heard this from another runner I was watching some clips on, and it really hit home for me.

It really wasn't that long ago that I was almost gone. My system was shutting down, an…

The quality of your thoughts matters. So why do you not put time into training your mind?

Your mind can stop your progress in any venture you want to try. Yet so many put zero effort into learning how…

If you can find a way to get through something one time, you can do it again.

Doing hard things gives you a mental highlight reel to pull from the next time you find yourself struggling.

It gives you t…

Adding runs into your training is a great way to really work on your mind.

I know that doesn't make sense on the surface, lol.

Here's what I mean. Set a time or distance, and don't stop until you hit t…

Experiments are fun, but getting back to the basics when the experiment didn't work is so good 😂

It wasn't all bad, though. I did find myself to be a little more crisp mentally, so I added some carbs …

It's a wrap! I can't do this again, lol.

After the first day, I felt decent enough. But about halfway through today, my body was over it.

I've felt nauseous all day, and food fills me up but doesn't sa…

The sugar fast is underway! Lol

I did have a lot of energy, but I also felt gross for most of the day. It should be good for a couple of days, but this is definitely not a long-term solution.

I will sa…
