Many of us live with one foot in the past and one foot in the future. Ruminating or planning. We miss today and as we age those days unravel like a ball of yarn. Each year the ball gets smaller and smaller and it feels like time is speeding by. Don’t let the end of your yarn be full of regrets and missed opportunities with I wish I did… I’m sorry I didn’t… I should have started…. Start today with whatever is consuming your thoughts. Do it. Fail forward. Fall and get up. Just start today, a Tuesday, at 5 pm. What matters is that you live today with action.

I’m celebrating 58 trips around the Sun. I dedicated 5 days to doing what I love. Dirt trails, mountains, spring wildflowers and of course running into the sunrise.

My wish to you is find that thing that fills your soul and chase it. 🧡⛰️🧡🏃🏼‍♀️🧡

RUNNING STREAK: Day 3,000, minimum 3 miles a day, outside, equaling 17,259 miles.

“Greatness comes from the repetition of good.” Resilience is the result of self curated challenge over comfort. True discipline comes from the commitments you keep to yourself. Set a standard, show up without chasing perfection and build your life brick by brick. In other words “ Do hard SH!T”

Cheers to the next 1,000!

May you all find your joy and the passion to pursue it daily. I love nature, running, and solitude. Some days it takes discipline to seek joy. That discipline led me to celebrate my 8 year running streak with a 16 mile run. 8 miles for the past and 8 miles for the future.

8 years of at least 3 miles everyday outside. 2,922 days. 16,775 miles.

It’s been a building year. A year of resilience. A year of strength. I’m looking forward to beginning year 9.

Health is a privilege. Aging is a privilege. Living this life is a privilege. I will never take these milestones for granted.

Misogi: a ritual of purification that cleanses the body, mind, and spirit.

In The Comfort Crisis @michael_easter explains a Misogi as
1. It must be extremely difficult ( you might likely fail)
2. It must be obscure or private
3. It should involve physical and mental hardship
4 You must not die

After a year of “running through” and “fixing” injuries I decided to break self sabotaging habits, shed my ego, and begin again.

My Birthday Misogi was 5 runs, in 5 days, ending with 57 miles and 5,700 feet of elevation. (4 months ago I could barely run a solid 3 miles). My completed totals:

Distance:

. Day 1: 13.05 mi
• Day 2: 13.00 mi
• Day 3: 13.00 mi
• Day 4: 13.01 mi
• Day 5 (Birthday 8): 8.00 mi
Total: 60.06 miles

Elevation Gain:
• Day 1: 1,558 ft
• Day 2: 1,726 ft
• Day 3: 1,473 ft
• Day 4: 1,759 ft
• Day 5: 1,020 ft
Total: 7,536 ft

Cheers to Birthdays and trips around the Sun. 57 years….. feels good!

“Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.” Anatoli Boukreev

RUNAVERSARY!!! 7 years, minimum 3 miles a day, outside, totaling 2,557 days and 14,748 miles.

Discipline is choosing the hard thing today for the benefit of your future self. Resilience to step up to challenge without expecting perfection. Perseverance to meet Mother Nature every morning no matter the weather she gifts each day.

Each day, each week, each month, each year is a gift.

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.”
Edmund Hillary

Truest words ever spoken, “time flies” …. This year I will find awe and joy in the everyday. I will nourish my mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health daily. I will say yes to all adventures. I won’t live in the past or predict the future. I will wake up with the appreciation of Momento Mori.

Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back.

6 Years. 2,191 days. 12,817 miles. Today I celebrate a the totality of my nonnegotiable commitment to myself. My emotional, spiritual,and physical self.

No one cares…. No one really cares about your daily stress, worries, health and anxiety. Happiness and health is a personal accountability game. It is your job to show up for yourself everyday.

Live everyday with intention.

Discipline is the key to consistent action.

Happiness is an inside job.

Do more of what makes you happy.

Start where you are today.
