What's up Fam! Last time y'all heard from me, aside from loving life during the Post Season Run, i was getting divorced and felt like a failure. I woke up this morning and thought I would provide an update, but hopefully people can see this that are going through, have gone through, are may be thinking about going through a similar situation: Divorce, Separation, etc. This may be a post that is all over the place, will terrible structure and flow, but that is because I think i am happy... And i just want to express that

I finalized my Divorce in September, and I flipped a switch in my brain. I got disciplined, I got intentional and I made long-term goals that I am striving for. One goal was I wanted to get in shape, but i did not define what 'in shape' is, so I am always chasing something. I have already completed goals of running a 5K and 10K with a 16 pound weighted vest.

I still have goals to complete of running 10 miles, then running 20k, then running 30k. I have been working out every single day, and just really pushing myself in my garage gym to the point of I have completely transformed my fat belly into abs. I have completely changed my eating and created new habits with an entirely new diet that I have embraced and can now operate with my eyes closed. I am in my post-divorce tattoo pahse, got a session today with plans for two more projects after I already got three projects done last year. 

I used to be the epitome of the song "Happy" by NF... If you never listened to it, that song explains me... But I think I am getting happier as the days go on. And you can too! This forum really helped me when I was down, thank you guys and gals! Really, I may not have been on much over the past few months, but you guys and gals freaking rock.

So my big 2025 Goals are:

Spartan 5K Sprint, Spartan 10K Super, Spartan 21K Beast

This is all training for Jan 1, 2026. On that day, I will sign up for the Spartan Ultra 50K, and you bet your a** i will finish. SOmehow, someway. If someone on here runs Spartans and you want to meet up at some of the races (I am doing Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and maybe Utah) let me know!

Again, not really sure the purpose of this post, but wanted to say thank you to this whole community. And to say I think, with the purpose and discipline I have started in my life, the happiness is coming back. See y'all around!
