Skipped running yesterday morning due to a left calf issue, so instead of pushing through it, I switched to a 50-minute treadmill walk at incline that didn’t fire up the calf.Got back in the gym in afternoon for a back and biceps workout. For me, consistency doesn’t always mean doing exactly what was planned. So many times I’ve had to pivot and find a way to get the work done.

Still getting it done even though life has been a little chaotic lately. Was able to sneak out on my wife’s birthday and get a run in. Bad thing was strained my calf at some point. Been getting my workouts in, stayed active, but have absolutely neglected stretching/mobility. Lesson learned for sure.

Easy win in the steps category: whenever you are at any place waiting, i.e., the airport, don't sit and waste time; get in some extra steps. Keep it moving! You're not going to lose your seat anymore, now that Southwest has moved away from selecting your seat as you board.

Got a solid 4+ mile ruck in this morning, which is the longest so far, and hit all my other goals. Onto Monday! Headed out super early to paddle board with the wife. 💪🏽🔥

Good morning! Time for a long overdue check in. I have still been going strong, and am now on day 40 of the 75 hard challenge! I will admit, some days are easier than others. It all depends on my own time management and the environment I am in. I have done some traveling and there have been days I have been on point with great time management and others where I was finishing up a run at 11:15pm because I needed to get in my last workout of the day (definitely not ideal!) I've had to make adjustments to workout routines, such as in Laughlin, our hotel didn't have a gym and it was 120 degrees outside, so I found the stairwell and climbed up and down 25 floors on repeat, adding squats every now and again until I got over 45 minutes (anyone that knows me, knows this is sooooo boring to me), even though that really sucked, it allowed me to stay on track with this journey I am on, and for the most part I am at a point where I find myself really enjoying it. Even more so I love seeing the results of it. I am only a little over halfway through right now, and I feel like I can already feel a mental change. Also some exciting news, I am down to my goal weight of 145, and over the moon excited because I was worried losing weight even if it wasn't very much would impact my strength, but yesterday I was able to squat 205 (which is currently my PR) 6 times, in my fire gear!!! Anyway sorry for the long update, I promise I will try and update more frequently so next time it won't be such a lengthy post lol.
