Write it on your heart!

I ran 4 miles at lunch, and it felt VERY hot. I just kept thinking about Coach @GregReasoner saying "running in the heat is rewarding." And he was right!! It feels good to be able to go out there and suffer! #Type2fun

May stats: Steps: 322,722 and Burpees 720. YTD: Steps: 1,635,843 and Burpees: 4120. Still in 2 Chonicles, but should be wrapping up soon. #2026

There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life. What will change your life is the person you become in the process of going for it.

April Stats: 875 burpees and 295,166 steps*. YTD: 3400 burpees and 1,313,462 steps. I am in 2 Chronicles. It is interesting to compare 1 and 2 Chronicles to 1 and 2 Samuel. *3 days' worth of step data was not recorded, including a Saturday long run. Oh well. #2026goals

I am doing a Genesis Reading Challenge with my dad over 80 days. We take turns reading out loud. He uses his KJV Bible, and I use my NSRV. We discuss. It is awesome!

The first week of March was kicking my butt! I had posting to twitter on my to-do list for the weekend.

A Toronto man ran 1,105 kilometers (687 miles) over a year, carefully planning his routes to form the shape of a dancing figure

New research reveals that walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground. Skip the joint-pounding stress of flat-ground sprints. Studies show that maintaining a steady 3 mph pace on a 16–18% incline actually outperforms traditional running in several key ways. The uphill effort recruits far more muscle fibers—especially in the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core—as your body fights gravity with every step. This constant resistance dramatically raises the metabolic demand, pushing energy expenditure higher without the repetitive impact of jogging. Beyond the impressive calorie burn, incline walking delivers a superior cardiovascular workout. Your heart has to pump harder to supply oxygen to working muscles under increased gravitational load, which builds aerobic fitness more effectively than level walking. Interestingly, this approach also allows your body to tap into a higher percentage of fat as fuel compared to high-intensity flat running, all while being much gentler on knees, ankles, and hips. For anyone looking to maximize fat loss, boost endurance, and get better results with less wear and tear on the body, trading sprints for steep incline walking might be the smartest upgrade you can make in the gym.

Words to live by today—and every day.

I read 286 chapters of the Bible in 2025 (currently reading 2 Samuel "Oh, Absalom!"), plus approximately 12 introductory and discussion chapters. I wasn't perfect, but I was consistent. I look forward to continuing this goal in the coming years!

December Steps stats: 351,915. YTD: 4,490,558. I fell short of my 5,000,000-step goal, but the 12,000 steps I managed to average daily were quality steps that I am proud of! Goal for 2026 (and for life!): Average 10,000 steps a day.

December 700 Burprees. 2025: 10,050 burpees! This goal forced me to stay consistent but also allowed for some flexibility. There were days that I was tired, injured, or traveling, where I just couldn't do burpees. I am going to set the same goal for 2026! Onward!
