Where does my passion for training come from?
12/20/2024

I have a feeling this episode won’t age very well but I wanted to be as open and as vulnerable as possible with where I’m at in life right now and with this thing that has all but dominated my life outside of fear (fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, fear of pain, and fear of living in a meaningless or sinister universe).

In short, I continue to run because I’m still competing against my younger self.
