Grateful for my best mountain training run ever (16 miles with nearly 4,000 feet of elevation, in under 3 hours) yesterday, followed by an hour and a half run with hill sprints today. Sometimes setbacks help us appreciate how great things are when there aren’t any setbacks!
Morning stats
Yang/firing up:
high-five in the mirror
stood on one leg while brushing teeth, to activate glutes
morning mantra: “Today I take bold action to upgrade my life and raise my standards.”
5 min Hypervolt muscle massage session
forgot to meditate in the morning so I challenged myself to do a “moving meditation “ for 2 minutes while I ran, just focusing on my breath (it lasted about 15 seconds)
In less than two weeks, I’m already doing significantly more push-ups and pullups, but even more important, my focus feels improved, thanks to meditation, earthing, and getting top priorities done earlier in the day. Good energy, good vibes. Thanks for reading this and helping to hold me accountable!

Starting to look forward to my daily motivational speech, some stretching/yoga, and my latest addition to the day: earthing. (As for cold showers, I can’t say I look forward to those quite yet, and meditation is still a struggle, through I certainly feel good when I’m done with both. )

Turns out I picked up two forms of E.Coli while traveling, so that explains why my system has been so fouled up for a week. I’m grateful it’s likely just a minor setback.
