🏁 Friday Finish Line 🏁

Eat Well 🍎

Hunger Always Wins 🍽
Not hungry post-run? Cute. Wait a few hours, and your body will demand payment in snacks. Grab carbs + protein now versus raiding the fridge later.

Hydration Isn’t Optional 🥤
Feeling off? Foggy? Existential dread? Probably dehydration. Sip water all day, not just when you’re parched. Sweat a lot? Add some electrolytes.

Run Well 👟

The Engine Needs Oil ⚙️
That first mile can be tough; your body is cold. Joints need movement; muscles need blood flow. Give it time, and suddenly, you’re running smoother than a well-oiled machine.

Slow = Secret Weapon 🐢
Running fast every time is a one-way ticket to burnout. Slow way down. No gasping, no ego—just miles that build endurance.

Live Well 🌟

Imperfect Beats Inactive 🎯
Waiting for the right moment to start a habit? There's no ideal time. Just begin—messy, inconsistent, or however it turns out. Imperfect action beats doing nothing.

Your Phone Steals Sleep 📵
Scrolling in bed equals = rough run in the morning. Set a screen curfew and let your brain shut down before your body does.

A Quote to Live By 💫

"Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." — Abraham Lincoln.

PS: I'm sitting on the deck watching the sunset, sipping a little whiskey, and contemplating my last long run before I run the Los Angeles Marathon in two weeks. Life is good.
