POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I ran Running With The Devil 50k this past weekend. Wanted to run this two years ago, but love got in the way. I tend to make myself small. I self-sabotaged so hard. Planned on running last year, but grief got to me. Was only going to sign up for the 10k. How did I let life get in the way of such a SMALL goal for myself?

I had to give my life to Jesus to learn how to use pain and grief as peaceful fuel. I had set the bar so low cause that’s what I was surrounded by. What I accepted. That was until He gave me the confidence to accomplish what I needed to while working with any situation at hand. God looked at my 10k goal and laughed. Two years ago, I would have never thought about running 50km. But, God.

It’s still #mensmentalhealthawareness month and I encourage any dude that’s struggling to get up, to simply get out. There are very few places for us to feel safe. The ultra marathon scene has welcomed me with open arms. I fit in and I don’t have to make myself small. Talking dreams and struggles are welcomed. Not sure if I’m running 100k or 100 miles next, all I know is the focus and grind don’t stop. Grateful to be here.

I said I was gon’ run 50 miles and I did. Thought I was prepared for anything, but knee pain starting at mile 30 humbled me. I had to run/walk which wasn’t the plan, but I was going to finish no matter what. I also thought I was going to finish ~20 hours (not sure of my math), but ended up finishing at 13:19:56…with knee pain. 7 hours early with plenty of room for improvement. Met a lot of cool people, learned so much, and truly enjoyed myself.

To God be the glory. I couldn’t do any of this without Him.

It’s been a wild few weeks. Things I can’t explain have been happening and prayers have been getting answered. God is truly mysterious and loving. Life has been life’ing the life out of me, yet I’m the least worried that I’ve ever been. Opportunity has been knocking. Support has been overflowing. So has the hate and negativity, but it comes with the territory. All I want for them is peace, no vengeance. And for all of us to be at peace with ourselves and one another.

I’m finally content with where I’m at in life, with who is in my life, and with what is happening in my life. Learning to give myself grace is another story, but that journey has been profound. S/o to Rumidumi, @thepilotbruh, @kuyajiujitsu, @derpthrulife, my men’s bible group, my church fam, @prsvr_gym, and Jordan at @chagaroot for lifting a downed spirit. Thank you, God. I’ll never understand, but I’m grateful.

Rumi Tuesday’s, making me chase you, our lunch/dinner dates, and our weekly visit to Spirit Halloween are just a few reasons why I adore you. Oh, and your love for Jesus 😭
Daddy loves you, Rumidumidoopdoo.

Two hard runs yesterday and then a hip mobility workout at @prsvr_gym this morning calls for a solid hydration/recovery beverage at the park. Aside from my Cocomelón recipe, I love anything chocolate coconut. So I went all out with both today, until I find another way to make it better 🤷‍♂️

Recipe below, adjust accordingly.

ULTIMATE COCO-COCOA
-200ml Chocolate milk
-200ml Coconut water
-1/4 cup @kyhvnutrition Chocolate Recovery
-1 tbsp Cocoa powder
-1/4 tsp @bajagoldsaltco
-2 tbsp Coconut cream powder
-2 scoops @mrm_nutrition Creatine Monohydrate

This blend has always been one of my favorites, so I’m really dialing this one in. Sourcing certain ingredients has been the challenge, but s/o my brother @kuyajiujitsu for making things happen. It’s wild what God can do with other people when you let Him. This one is super refreshing and an absolute hydration bomb. Simplicity is key. Recipe below, adjust accordingly.

COCOMELÓN
-200ml Coconut water
-200ml Watermelon juice
-1/4 tsp @bajagoldsaltco
-2 scoops @mrm_nutrition Creatine Monohydrate
-2 tbsp Coconut cream powder

First and foremost, to God be the glory. I’m absolutely nothing without Him. If you use worldly baselines for morals, it’ll crumble. You will not find peace in another person either. Seek God and the rest will fall into place. You will find your people of Christ. You will find a safe place to heal. People ask me all the time, “How’s that men’s group that you go to?” I say it’s surgical 😂.

Shoutout to my brothers in Christ and God’s Gains for welcoming me with open arms. God is really using these men in amazing ways. If y’all only knew…

If you’re in need of men’s bible study group, hit me up.
Disclaimer: This group isn’t for the faint of heart. You will get the love and support you need, but it ain’t bubblegum.

This season has truly been about letting go, letting God, and learning who I am through my time attending/serving at church and at a powerful men’s bible study group. These ultras and the training kill me. My job is full of purpose. Being a daddy has never felt more fulfilling.

Grateful that through hard times, He has softened my heart and sharpened my focus. The crown is too heavy. Vengeance is too heavy. We would all be wise to remember that. Grateful that I no longer have the desire to please no one but God.

Proverbs 24:15-16

15 Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous; do no violence to his home;
16 for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

God sees all. I pray for those that still need worldly validation. Give it up. God is more than enough.

Today I needed a boost of energy with my hydration so I threw in a coffee stick. You don’t need to add caffeine if you don’t want to. I messed around and thought I could fill this one up to the brim. Don’t do it. Don’t try. It gets messy. Recipe below, adjust accordingly.

PB COCO-CHOCO CARAMEL COFFEE
-350ml Water NOT 400ml
-2 scoops @chagaroot Chocolate Mycoprotein
-1/4 tsp @bajagoldsaltco
-2 scoops @mrm_nutrition Creatine Monohydrate
-1 tbsp @lairdsuperfood Coconut water powder
-1 tbsp @lairdsuperfood Superfood Creamer
-2 tbsp Powdered peanut butter
-1 stick @firedeptcoffee Salted Caramel
-1/2 tsp Saigon cinnamon

Life has been incredibly busy and stressful, so Sunday has been my only day where I can load up on miles at the moment. It’s all good, I work with what I got. Last Sunday I did 16. Today’s goal was 20. I ran 19.45 💀 Next Sunday will be 26. I’ll keep adding until my first 100 miler in November. Super dope running into @ryan.cuevaaa, @rheanday, and Ro.

S/o @kyhvnutrition cause their Strawberry Limeade Endurance sticks had me feeling great. 3 sticks for today’s run did me good with no crash. The cool part about training for ultra marathons isn’t about speed, it’s about getting used to the monotony and training your gut to consume a bunch of carbs, sugar, and calories. I took my sweet time today.

Thank you, God. Today’s run was necessary and peaceful.
