1. Divine. Truly divine eventāsynergies, 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 couldnāt 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 wasnāt meant for ourselves, it was meant to help each other.
2. Family. My family is incredible, always there for me. Couldnāt 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 upālove yāall. You showed up BIG TIMEāin person or not. You know who you are. I couldnāt have done this without you.
5. Presence. This run deepened my appreciation for lifeās little moments. My ability to BE in the present moment has amplified.
6. Growth. Mile 60 and 95āI wanted to give up. Throughout the run, I also kept thinking about the new standard I was creating for myself. āWould it be hard to upkeep this new standard after the run?ā was a thought in my head. But, new standards arenāt hard to keep when the new you is stronger to keep up.
7. Unity. Weāre stronger together, proven by this run.
8. Action. Talk is cheapājust 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 lifeās game, and you can play it your way.
12. Doubt. If I was a stock, you should buy now. Donāt doubt me. That would be foolish.
