6am/6pm. 5k each time. Day 1 in the books. Four days to go with this fundraiser and cap it with a 5k race Saturday. A few of the clients who the nonprofit serves showed up this afternoon for high fives and thanks. Love the reminder for why we keep going. Bring it on.

Halfway through a week of twice daily 5ks at 6am and 6pm. It's incredibly rewarding in the afternoons when some of the clients the nonprofit benefits come cheer us on. It makes the heat worth it, otherwise, I would prefer the mornings 😅

This is the "but how did people know where they were going before Apple Maps?" of bad takes.

Four days into a week-long charity run and starting to take each theme a little too seriously. This morning was sports 8️⃣ and this afternoon was beach ☀️👃🏻 Now up to 24.88mi run in 4 days, all under 10min pace, with almost $400 personally raised 💪🏻🏃🏻 One day and 6.22 mi to go!

Totaled it up and finished the 31 miles over these last five days in an avg pace of 9:11.4/mi. Now off to a 5k race! Didn't plan this out very well. 😅

Only got one joke but they'll be DAMned if they don't get the most out of it. About a minute off my race pace (8:22/mi) but still eeked out a 2nd place finish in the 30-39 men's category.

I made the front page of our local paper! 😂😂

Baby's first plane ride went a lot smoother than the flight. She was having the time of her life while we were hanging on for dear life 😂 Morning six miler including warm up along Lake Erie this morning in unfamiliar but nice territory.

Peloton only has one 75 min outdoor run but hopefully they add more soon. This was a lot of fun, especially with the last song Smells like Teen Spirit which was over a minute faster mile than any of the previous 7.

Hadn't rowed on the Peloton in almost three weeks because of the charity run, getting struck by lightning (twice as it turns out from the electrician's diagnosis today), and traveling. Two live Katie classes were a welcome return but a rude awakening.

Friends! You've heard me complain about falling short in rowing for months now but I finally broke through that wall this morning. PR plus a sub 2:10 on a piece of at least 4k which is a first. It took over three months but that's what progress looks like sometimes.

Just a casual 10mi run today. Farthest I've ever gone and didn't heart rate restrict it today but still tried to hold back pace. Final five miles were faster than the first five. All in all, feeling pretty good. Maybe time to start looking at half marathons.

Switching up my strength training to try out this new feature from the Guide. Told it 5 days/wk. It chose: full body, rest day, upper body, lower body, core, full body and rest Sunday. Turned on 1st class and ENCRiverPirate is there crushing it. Dude always tops the rowing LB.

My wife and I are both Gator alumni (her undergrad, me PhD) and we brought our 👶🏻🐊 to campus yesterday for a student dance performance. Classes start later this month and it's my first time teaching at UF since 2017 as a grad student. Can't wait to be back!

I'm missing a dinner with friends so I can take a live rowing class in celebration of my favorite #peloton instructor's cat's birthday. This is probably rock bottom, right? Like, it doesn't really feel like there's a floor beneath this.

Update: the floor has been reached now that I've updated my profile picture to my family cat

Always a pleasure to see Pelo Buddy - Unofficial Peloton Resources & News on the LB. Only 46 people in tonight's west coast cat celebration but it was a fun event and a heck of a HIIT class 😅

Data visualization of my fitness philosophy. Second consecutive Sunday running 10 mi. Pace improved 7 sec/mi down to 9:30/mi. Need to break that next Sunday and crack 95 min. After over an hour and a half, missed it by one second.

Haven't posted on here in a while. School started back. Had to prep for a hurricane. But the fitness hasn't slacked. For only the second ever month, earned gold in all challenges. 150mi biking, 40mi running, and 80k rowing. Now the machines are unplugged through the storm 😂
