Fourth week of 5k training down, It's going really well! Still waiting on a callback from the AC job, so I'm continuing to search for other jobs as well while I wait. Did all 4 training workouts this week so now I can just relax and enjoy the weekend of a family member's wedding! Quote of the week: None Stretching: 7/7 days. Ankle Therapy: 0 day.

Third week of 5k training down, still going strong! This whole month has been a little tight financially since I didn't have any extra income from the father in law, but I've already had 2 interviews for jobs, and one of them looks promising! So hopefully this coming month we'll have a bit more income. Quote of the week: None Stretching: 7/7 days. Ankle Therapy: 0 day. Current weight: 193lb Current running PBs: ...
Second week of 5k training down, going strong! I spoke to my father in law letting him know that I wanted to search for an official HVAC job for steady work, and also I'm in the capstone module at school, and they said I am not required to appear, just search for jobs and come in whenever I want to practice something, so now my schedule is open for an HVAC job! I sent out applications and got a reply from one of them already!! Hopefully I get hired. Exciting things hap...
First week of training down, 10 to go for the Doral Christmas 5k! The running journey is well underway! Unfortunately the financial journey isn't going that well. There just isn't enough work with my father in law. I'm now in the market for a job at another AC company. I am graduating from school very soon though so my schedule will officially open up! There's always something to look forward to! Quote of the week: None Stretching: 7/7 days. Ankle Therapy...
I have waited long enough! It's time to stop waiting. I am officially beginning my running training for 100 miles, starting with a 5k race! I have an 11 week training plan mapped out, I race in December. The goal is 21 minutes! After that race, I'll start training for a 10k, half marathon, full marathon, and finally 100 miles! I may do multiple races in each category depending on my performance. But starting this week, I will not stop training until I...
No AC work this week, but I stayed productive and made some preparations for the running journey! I got to spend some extra time with Adri as well so that was nice. There's always something we can do today, and always something we can be looking forward to! Quote of the week: None Stretching: 7/7 days. Ankle Therapy: 0/0 days.

This week was so nice! It was Adri's birthday week, I loved spending time with her family on Sunday and celebrating without having to go to work after. I can't wait to have every Sunday off forever! I also crushed it on my run this week! Looks like I should start doing 3 miles for each run. I don't think it's time yet for a full training plan, but I can keep increasing the runs when I feel good!

This week had a lot of naps! Honestly it felt kinda good. Nothing like an afternoon nap. It sucks getting up from one, but it can feel nice, especially when you are on the grind and lacking sleep. All in all it felt like a good week! I thought a lot about my ideal life, and laid out some key points for you all in this episode. It is fun talking about it. It makes me want to make it happen even more! Quote of the week: “Keep Dreaming.” - Many people. ...
Another week of good work in the books! Simple as that. I'm proud of how I was able to motivate myself to stay productive even when I had time off from HVAC work. Working on my novel is such a nice hobby! I get to create, which is fulfilling, and it keeps me out of the scroll hole and from spending too much time playing video games.

Round 2 done! I was able to ride along for 2 days even with my bout of sickness. Our financial situation is looking pretty good! We were able to pay down a nice chunk of debt, and looks like we will keep being able to every month! I also lost 3 pounds so let's see if I can keep that going this week.

That long hard work week wasn't so bad! Looks like I can handle it. Extreme productivity, while still maintaining a connection with Adri. The perfect week on the grind! Let's go for round 2!

This past week was wildly emotional lol. Thank you Adri, my WIFE!, for keeping me grounded and positive. I'm excited about this coming week! Our credit card debt has been scaring me a bit but a beautiful solution may have just popped up. It's gonna be a long, hard work week, but I feel like it's going to feel great at the end of it!

I'm back on the grind! I feel excited. The wedding went SO WELL!! I'm so happy, life is so good, and now Adri and I can focus on working hard to recover and start making real progress, and we have more quality time available since we don't have to plan for the wedding any more! I'm excited to see how the next few months go. Quote of the week: “Make plans like an adult and believe in them like a child.” - Jim Rohn Stretching: 7/7 days. Ankle Therapy: 0/0 days. C...
Episode. Number. 100. Wow. We made it to three digits! What a wild ride it has been. Multiple career changes, athletic successes and failures, and I went from boyfriend, to fiancé, and as of today at 4:30pm, HUSBAND. We still haven't conquered our Goaliaths yet, but the future is so bright! In this episode, I talk about the past, present, and future of the two goals, and Adri and I. This episode also has a new feature, I hope you enjoy! Keep pur...
I got paid to do HVAC work this week let's goooooooo!!! Things happen when you MAKE THEM HAPPEN! I can't emphasize enough how important it is to take action. Nothing ever happens if you don't take action. You can plan out every step and keep planning and planning and eventually have the PERFECT plan with all of the alternatives and contingencies, but nothing will happen if you don't take the steps. So take them! Stop planning and do it! Quote of the week: ...

This week the General Jerk of Fogo cut my whole Saturday shift, so I have lowered hours and my paycheck is going to be quite small. This is a mental challenge and a financial challenge that I'm going to have to figure out. However, Adri got a new job at an AMAZING new facial spa! So her income should increase, and her dreams and career are moving forward! That is what perseverance, determination, and hard work looks like! Quote of the week: “I can do this all day." - ...
Another classic week on the grind, and my birthday was last Saturday! It was such a relaxing, fun day off.
