FIVE HUNDRED MILES

500/500

August 31st — September 29th.

Started a day early. Finished a day early.

30 days. 500 miles.

Let me be real, this did not happen alone.

I had people in my corner pushing me to find a greatness inside myself. Did I know I could do it? Yes. But to the ones that stood beside me when this shit got hard… thank you.

I learned a lot about what it really takes to keep a promise to yourself.

Week 3 my body was failing me. I couldn’t sleep more than 2 hours a night. Everything I ate I threw back up. I had a fever every night for 2 days.

I really thought it was over.

I thought I had finally found the wall I couldn’t get through.

Then a great friend @theycallmetoe told me,

“remember who the fuck you are.”

And for some reason… that was all I needed.

I got up and kept going.

Week 4 I ran 125 miles with over 2K of elevation. Further than I’ve ever pushed myself in my life.

This challenge wasn’t me out here waving my ego in anybody’s face. I wasn’t trying to prove I was better than anybody.

I needed to do this for me.

I made myself a promise.

500 miles.

And I kept it.

In only a couple weeks my family will be growing. I’ll have a baby boy 🥹

And when I really think about why I do all this shit… it’s them.

I just want to be somebody my children can look at and be proud to call Dad. I want them to see that when life gets hard, you don’t have to fold. You fight. You figure it out. You find another way.

I just want this body to be strong enough to carry whatever weight my family needs me to carry, so they don’t have to.

That’s it.

Everything else is noise.
