Hello all,

Another fun installment of this fun thing I call "life".

So I am a year older and I guess you would say a year wiser. I have moved out to the Bay Area and shook a lot of things up. Still, I kept holding back and not embracing the new and exciting things that are coming. I was lucky enough to attend the Landmark Forum and it helped me tap into this. I was taught to forego the past and live in the moment. This is a moment of unlimited potential. I could go on and on but this full on psychology is not my style.

I had a great talk with a great man who reaffirmed this today. He is Doc Heipp, my high school coach and friend. We mapped out a five month plan to get back into racing. Most of the conversation was not about the mileage or strategy of workouts, rather it was on the spiritual side. It was about the ability to break away from old mentality that owned me for so many years. Now this next but may sound bad but those who went to catholic school will understand. We discussed a world where I finally set a goal and carry myself and only myself there. No worrying about the comments or well being of others. Extra baggage is not allowed on this flight. It is a journey that will help me love myself more and in turn bring people along in the future.

Again, I ramble and I apologize but what do you expect from an emotional man at 2am haha

I take this new challenge on and I have five months to out my body through hell. To go to a race with the intention of crossing the line. Then and only then will I be vindicated. Times and place will come second and I can go back in the mad lab for more workouts and strategy. To cross with a smile on my face and to know I am doing what I truly love will be enough.

As always it is the kind words and simple "likes" on Facebook that help make me. The joy I feel still after all these years is sometimes overwhelming and a reason I hold back. I know it sounds pretty stupid, but easier to hide in what I have done in the past. I say a pox on that and lets make a fun filled successful future. God bless


Cheers!!!!!

PS- I'm sorry for no video this time. They will be coming. Also I will be posting my workouts everyday with a main written post every Wednesday. Thank you
