MIGHT Training Transition 💪🦍

Navigating an injury is never “easy” but it’s a lot less troublesome when you choose to have some fun with the pivot.

“Might” training= Strength (Thank you #hewhofightswithmonsters ) and today’s was Lower Body Density in patterns that feel A-Ok 👌

RDL
Single Leg Glute Bridge
Elevated Split Squat
High Damper Bike Erg

And a training partner who kept me incredible accountable 🐶

Training with intent matters.
Having fun with training means you are excited to come back 😎

Stay Nerdy 🤓. Stay Fit. Stay Positively Jacked 🌈💪

Just really grateful for my body and all it’s been through. #abeminus100 started when I knew nothing about fitness, nutrition and how to take care of myself. I couldn’t walk without pain, I couldn’t kettle bell swing, I couldn’t do a lot of things.

But I was vulnerable and brave to ask for help & to show up even when it was scary and new. I’ve learned so so much - including how ADHD & OCD affects eating and hunger regulation 🫠… Now I can’t imagine my life without all the things that keep body healthy.

I hope to fit a fit 105 year old cutie gay and I’m thankful that I’ve fallen in love with health and wellness. 🤙🏼

Shout out to my crew of trainers dieticians PTs docs & my chef for teaching & guiding me without judgement - you’ve done it all with pure support and love, and I’m so grateful. ❤️

VIR! Bucket list track for this Midwest guy

First time at VIR getting acquainted with the track with @hookedondrivingma getting some laps in.

So far it's been awesome despite the freezing temperatures. Coming up to speed quickly. I will definitely be back here.

I also got @coachbacott running pit crew for me, what a luxury!

Seven months ago I walked off my first HYROX course. Open division, 1:20:29 and knowing I had work to do. The gap between what I thought I could handle and what the race actually demanded? Brutal wake-up call.

Tonight I walked off in 1:16:28. Four minutes faster and IN THE PRO DIVISION

What was the difference? I took my prep into my own hands. Programmed my own training. 4 months of trusting I could keep bias out of the equation and prepare myself appropriately. More running volume, more running speed, more intentional work than I’d done before and trusting myself even when I couldn’t fully see how it would translate until now.

But here’s what I wasn’t prepared for: The power of my community!

I came in carrying their expectations, worried they thought Pro division was cooler than it actually is to me. Afraid I’d mentally quit mid-race and let them down.

Instead? Their presence became something else entirely. Every time I hit a station, every time the suffering spiked, I could FEEL them there. Not as pressure, as FUEL. They weren’t just watching. They were WITH ME in ways I didn’t know I needed until I was in it.

Not once did I want to quit. My mind stayed sharp through all eight stations. My body remembered: “We trained for harder than this.” My community held space for me to discover what I’m actually capable of.

This isn’t my ceiling. Top 3 in age group by 2028, then Worlds - that’s where I’m headed. This race was **data collection** for that journey. And the data is clear:

The training works. The protocol holds. And I can trust myself more than I did before this race.

To everyone who showed up: you have no idea how much it mattered. You weren’t just spectators. You were part of what carried me through.

Protocol validated. Community activated. Peace found. Journey continues.

ONE DAY AT A TIME

On to the next one.

Sundays hit different when you’ve got people who show up for more than just the miles.

Yesterday was the last Sunday Runday in COMO for a while—Coach Nate + Kels are heading to Michigan! It’s exciting. It’s bittersweet. And it’s a reminder that communities aren’t places, they’re people.

Every single person who laced up week after week built this thing. We logged more than miles, and you all showed up for yourself and for each other. That’s what made Sunday Runday special, and that’s what will keep it alive with the group and expanding broader to wherever we plant the flag next.

Our PJ team is already looking forward to future visits, new miles, and more finish-line high fives. Here’s to fresh starts and the kind of crew that makes both worth celebrating. 💪❤️

It’s not about the failure - it’s about the response

My 30th birthday was one for the books. I trained for over 6 months for this 30 for 30 challenge, and while things didn’t go exactly how I imagined, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Walking the last 5.5 miles definitely wasn’t on my bingo card… but there was never a doubt I’d finish.

I’m beyond grateful to the people who showed up, ran beside me, and pushed me through. I truly couldn’t have done it without you. Your support meant the world and more than you’ll ever know.

We keep going. Always.

🥵 Training in the heat? Water’s not gonna cut it.

🥛 Enter: Mint Lime Chaas.

Coach Nate’s favorite recovery move when the thought of a protein shake feels... heavy.

It’s cool, salty, hydrating, and weirdly satisfying—like if your electrolyte drink grew up and got a passport.

✔️ Greek yogurt (protein + gut health)
✔️ Fresh mint + lime (flavor that actually wakes you up)
✔️ Salt + cumin (don’t knock it till you try it)

Blend it. Chill it. Sip it slowly.
It’s recovery, but smoother.
