Enjoy The Ride, Weight Loss Outdoors

January to May. Five races. Five personal records. One hundred fifty pounds lighter. Same guy. Different choices. I’m not going to tell you I’m a trainer or a coach because I’m not. I’m a dude who got tired of waiting until the perfect moment to start moving. Spoiler alert: the perfect moment is now. The secret everyone’s looking for? There isn’t one. Get outside. Start exactly where you are. Start moving. If you need someone in your corner, I’m here. June is booked. Let’s get outside and enjoy the ride.

Battery life isn’t a spec sheet flex when you’re a bigger athlete. It’s whether your watch can keep up with the time you actually spend out there. Part 2 of the Coros vs Apple series.

300 pounds. June heat. Getting passed by bikers mid-run.

My brain was nothing but excuses. I wish I had my bike. I wish it was cooler. I wish I was anywhere but here.

Then I caught myself. Because I could feel every single one of those thoughts slowing me down.

Pulled out my phone right there on the course. Not really for content. I needed to hear myself say it out loud.

Stop wishing. Be in the suck. The version of you that handles this better is on the other side of finishing it right now.

Ran the whole thing. Aiden’s Fun Run 5K done.

Stop wishing. Start preparing.
