100 Mile Run Completed | Reflection 🏃♂️
1. Divine. Truly divine event—synergies, encouragement, and selfless love shone through. Ran for others, fueled by strangers-turned-friends and many subtle signs. Examples of that: people showing up and giving me a boost of energy through their encouragement or advice, seeing a van that had Visiting Angels written on its exterior (a special meaning to Aunt Diane), gaining strength to keep running when I thought I couldn’t run anymore, random-not-so-random strangers (that became friends) providing me with needed resources that helped fuel my run (thank you Stefan), and the most astounding thing of all was the amount of giving, loving, and serving people were doing. This run wasn’t meant for ourselves, it was meant to help each other. 2. Family. My family is incredible, always there for me. Couldn’t have done this without my awesome parents, brothers, and relatives. 3. Brothers. My brothers are the best, supporting me through the full 32 hours. In the darkest of the night, early hours of the morning, and last leg of the 100 miles. 4. Friends. Blessed with amazing friends who showed up—love y’all. You showed up BIG TIME—in person or not. You know who you are. I couldn’t have done this without you. 5. Presence. This run deepened my appreciation for life’s little moments. My ability to BE in the present moment has amplified. 6. Growth. Mile 60 and 95–I wanted to give up. Throughout the run, I also kept thinking about the new standard I was creating for myself. “Would it be hard to upkeep this new standard after the run?” was a thought in my head. But, new standards aren’t hard to keep when the new you is stronger to keep up. 7. Unity. We’re stronger together, proven by this run. 8. Action. Talk is cheap—just show up and do it. 9. Calm. Staying calm in chaos is a superpower. 10. Purpose. Aim high, and the universe aligns to help you succeed. 11. Mastery. Master life’s game, and you can play it your way. 12. Doubt. If I was a stock, you should buy now. Don’t doubt me. That would be foolish.
