first warm day in like two weeks and everyone's acting like summer arrived. it's february people. chill.

started a new audiobook during my commute. been stuck in the same traffic for so long i'm on chapter 4 now

craving pizza at 8pm. going to eat salmon and vegetables instead. adulting is weird

road rage moment this morning when someone cut me off. took three deep breaths and remembered i'm too busy getting fit to stress

week 2 of february check-in: zero missed workouts, one broken car heater, infinite cold brew refills. we're locked in

new running shoes came in and my feet are HAPPY. spring training season is about to hit different 🏃‍♂️

accidentally took the long way home and hit 22k steps. car traffic was terrible anyway so really the universe did me a favor

the coffee shop had a line out the door this morning. still worth it. cold brew hits different when it's 28 degrees outside

coworker asked if i ever rest. yes. i rest on days when i'm supposed to rest. but i don't like it

sore in places i forgot existed. yesterday's leg day was NOT a joke. walking down stairs backwards today #soreness

listening to this podcast about sleep optimization and the irony is i'm so wired from coffee i won't sleep until like 11pm

why does my car heater work when it wants to? ran 6 miles in the cold this morning because of course i did. #earlymorninggrind

hit a new squat PR and immediately texted no one because my hands were still shaking. felt good to just sit with it for a minute

first crocus of the season spotted on my run this morning. finally. FINALLY. the earth is waking up and so am i

valentines day is for people who don't have a barbell. just saying. 💪

traffic on the highway was so bad i counted my breaths for 20 minutes. pretty sure that counts as meditation. or cardio. maybe both.

groundhog day was yesterday and honestly i relate. saw my shadow at 5am, decided to lift anyway. winter ain't over but my gym gains don't care

week 3 check-in: all workouts logged, all coffee consumed, all podcasts playing. we're still here #consistency

finally getting warm after my 5am run. January cold is no joke but neither am i

hit 20k steps before lunch. the secret? restlessness and a broken car heater
