2025: Begin Again

I know it. I feel it. I see it. The universe is playing with me, showing me all the signs. It’s happening right now. I can tell.

“You are almost there”. Ironically the worst cheer I ever heard as an athlete, now the place where I find solace in my all of my life’s training. I AM almost there. I’m on the threshold of new beginnings. Of my life’s next epic adventure. It’s coming!

For now, I keep going. Feeling like I did in AZ on November 15, 2015 - seeing the finish line, but knowing I have a whole other half marathon to go. The sunset is long gone, there is a menacing mist in the desert air, and everything hurts. I know it’s gonna take me another 3 hours to get there. But I know exactly where I am going. And I am going to put one step in front of the other, forward, for however long it takes to get there. Watch me.

What I didn’t know then is that completing Ironman was just part of my life’s training.

It’s been 10 years. And that was the best day of my life. But this time, it’s even bigger. I see things in real life now I could never have even imagined in my dreams before.

What I see now is gonna crush all my previous personal best performances.

To the future y’all.
