Episode #139: Bouncing Back from a Near-Quit Experience

6 weeks of training down (I missed 4 sessions across the last 3 weeks), 10 to go! The last 3 weeks have been mentally and physically rough. The past 3 days, I considered letting the athletic journey go, but I bounced back and realized I haven’t tried everything yet! There is more I can do to make this journey happen, but I have to double down and make a bit more of a sacrifice. I’m not done yet! I do have this ankle injury as an extra hurdle on top of everything else that comes with training for a 100 mile race, but even with that I still believe it is possible! So I’m going to keep trying! I KNOW I can do it!Quote of the week: “Have you tried EVERYTHING?” - Myself. Current running PBs: 5k: 19:54 --- 6:25 per mile. (Doral Christmas Race 12/21/2025) 10k: 42:48 --- 6:53 per mile.

Episode #136: A Nice Chill Week.

This week felt really nice. I just rested from running, enjoyed time with Adri, bonded with my best friend, and continued thinking about the future! The key to financial freedom is simply to keep increasing earnings while decreasing bills, and not simply spending the extra money, but saving it and using it to decrease the bills even faster! An earnings increase should be coming soon so I am excited for that, and we are back on the grind for the Half Marathon! I’m so excited for this training block.
