Performing a significant physical or mental challenge that I can someday share with my son.
Today’s challenge:
• 15 miles on the track (60 laps)
• Negative splits for 14 miles (each mile faster than the last) pic.twitter.com/JO1IeCygpP -
It was absolutely brutal.

Heading into the final four laps I was spent, but had to dig deep and find another gear.

Finished the final mile in 6:02 and completed the challenge. pic.twitter.com/3mWsjjlnc9 -

My father didn’t teach me, I learned by observing how he lived.
The best parenting advice I received:
Make a list of the values that you want your child to live by, then embody them yourself. -
My wife got us matching outfits for Father’s Day.
