Circle of Trust
I follow Andrew Glaze in TikTok/Instagram/Strava as initially I stumbled on one of his 100 mile Ultra Marathon clips where he was halucinating so badly he was crying in mile 80 something of a 100 mile run. Then the guy turns around and run a 250 mile Ultra Marathon that took 3-4 days.
He always starts his race with “1 mile down and 99 to go” while smiling like he’d just won the lotto. Many of his clips end with “This is your reminder to do hard stuff today.” Which #1 is an excellent reminder but also a deeper though.
If we opt into the hard stuff by choice alone we get conditioned and callused when things become hard. Andrew runs 100 mile Ultra so often that while they are still incredibly hard he has got to the point where he is able to manage them. Choosing hard allows us to manage the actual hard things that we face everyday.
Aye!
Naked Man Moleskin
We went around the circle and listed positive intentions which I always love doing and hearing. Ozark getting a promotion as well as Foreclosure. Picasso planning his runs on a trip to Hawaii, staying accountable and accelerating always and Second City sorting out the next steps in his young life. I reflected on stepping away from the gloom, fitness and the day to day last week to center myself on memories with family.
This is your daily reminder to do hard stuff. Win the day!
