I took my son tent camping up in Alabama this past weekend. Neither of us had slept outside in nature in quite a while something that we did all the time when he was younger. There was obvious pushback by an almost 12 year-old when he was told what we were doing. It wasn’t shortly after opening his eyes on the first morning in the tent that he was already talking about not wanting to leave. We rollerbladed and hiked some awesome trails finishing at King‘s Chair lookout on Oak Mountain. Definitely feeling re-energized, refocused & ready to crush this week.

Been quiet in here for a while. Honestly, I’ve been in what you’d probably call an identity crisis. In the last year and a half, I stopped competing in the sport I’ve given most of my life to, stepped away from coaching, went through a divorce, and changed careers. That’s a lot all at once — and it hit hard. I haven’t said much, but I’ve been here. Reading your posts. Watching. And whether you knew it or not, you guys have helped keep me going. Somewhere along the way, I started running from the very things that made me who I am. Like I needed to erase it all for some kind of fresh start. But screw that. It’s time to get back to what makes us who we are. Time to stop hiding from it. I’m done being quiet.

I took the day off work yesterday so I missed my weight in. This morning I weighed in at 180lbs which was the same as last week. I'll count that as win amd keep moving towards my goal of 185lbs. I want to start incorporating some mobility and explosive movement into my training routine so I'm researching that for good programs to get going. I also need to do a whole lot more work on my flexibility. Mentally I guess i feel like I'm under attack lately, negative self image, doubting myself... So many things happening to push me off course and stop my forward progress. I feel like all the adversity means that I'm on the right path to get to the best version of myself, and I feel blessed to face storms of life head on. I'm on this path and I'm not stopping for anything. I'm committing to working on my side project after work for 2 hours or more and then as much as possible on the weekends. I'm committing to start writing the next chapter of my life while this one is still ongoing. I'm blessed to have the opportunity to keep moving forward into my destiny. Hope y'all have a great day!
