I’m a runner and I always tell my wife that I get inspired and motivated when we’re driving around and I see not the fit healthy people running down the street but more the people that are maybe a little overweight and a little bit older chugging along putting in some work and earning every step. As I have just started my Ultra journey thank you for inspiring me.

Congratulations on the 17 pounds. It’s sooooo so hard to lose weight while training. It’s great you got dark and trail training in this week. It’s starting to get a little (lil haha) cooler so the longer runs outside are almost doable. I did my 20 miler last week in Rhode Island and I hardly sweat 😂. I saw people running around all pouring sweat and I’m like- yep I’m dry. I guess it’s from all the humid heat training over the summer in Florida. Anyway great job getting it done. I’m guessing this is a pinnacle week for you? Are you doing back to back long runs?

Keep up the good work! In the video you stated that you lived in the space coast of Florida. Same here.!

Bro! Get a Garmin Watch!! I just recently made the switch from Apple and it is incredible! You’ll never worry about battery again. I did a 12 hour walk and it barely used any battery!
