Isaac | Dad | Runner 🏃🏻

I almost forgot my reason to run.

Then I looked at this picture.

The man in the middle was 70 pounds heavier.

I drank more than I should.
I wasn’t disciplined.
I wasn’t consistent.
I kept telling myself, “I’ll start Monday.”

When my daughter was born, I did start working out.

But if I’m being honest… I wasn’t committed.

I’d train for a while, then stop.
I’d eat well for a few days, then fall back into old habits.
I’d make progress, then lose it because I lacked consistency.

I wasn’t just fighting the weight.
I was fighting the person I’d become.

Then one day I realized my daughter deserved more.

She deserved a father who would be there for every milestone.
A father who led by example.
A father who kept the promises he made to himself.

So I stopped chasing quick results and started building discipline.

I quit drinking.
I changed the way I ate.
I fell in love with running.
And I kept showing up, even when I didn’t feel like it.

-70 POUNDS later, I can honestly say this journey was never just about losing weight.

It was about becoming the husband, father, and man I knew I was capable of being.

Every run reminds me that consistency will always beat motivation.

And every finish line reminds me why I started
If you’re waiting for the perfect time to start, don’t.
