Growing up I stumbled onto the value of being “the only” to steal a trendy phrase from . Being the only blond dude in a room of Latino or Black or Asian people has an interesting feel to it, something I’ve missed living in Colorado. It’s fun to seem so visibly ‘out of place!’
India last year sparked that part of me back to life. And being unable to run made for a perfect opportunity to dive fully into new types of people. I’ve slowly surrounded myself with people who see the world drastically, even diametrically, different than I do. And the same feeling is the back. I get the same giddiness at the near-overwhelming abundance of clashing views and novel experiences to hear about and learn from. And ultimately I hope to incorporate all greatest parts of everything and everyone that comes my way, refining who I am but also discovering myself, my self, in the socially charged mirror of my fellow humans.. just some thoughts to share today.
Back to training (120 miles/week for 6 weeks) starting Monday, with monk mode living.. is next up of course 🙏🙏🙏
thanks for reading, and please critique me ❤️
Shots by since no one else could get me to stare at a camera lens like this! ..

The mix of emotions captured here is interesting. maybe?! This lighting was from a tent wall with afternoon sun hitting it, and I felt a little like a tourist attraction while we took these, or a zoo animal...
I love talking with people directly, sharing ideas, but connecting via social media can feel too shallow and one-way for me. Recently, with all the responses from you all, I’m realizing there’s still a real connection to be made..
I’m positive that I’m learning huge lessons from my pursuits, and it would be extremely selfish not to at least TRY to share. So here I am, staring into a camera and pretending to not be uncomfortable, for the sake of a more real connection with you all, avoiding being swept aside by IG algorithms, being vulnerable with a camera, not just bold with my thoughts/words. To be fair is super pleasant to work with, but still, a camera isn’t a person.

It’s been a fun project these last few years and I’m about to put it to work, getting as juicy as wants to tonight for another Live -this time on his page. ..
