Last week, I started strong. I felt well-organized and had an overall restful weekend. As the week progressed, a lack of mental strength slowly chipped away at that early ambition. By the weekend, I was behind the curve and less effective than I wanted.
On Sunday, I ran the Trail Blazer 10K trail race in Whitefish, MT. I ran this race last year and finished in one hour and fifteen minutes 🐢. So far this year, I have run close to 300 miles and feel stronger than last year. I hoped to beat last year’s time. Unfortunately, I finished one minute slower.

I have spent considerable time this week pondering last week’s insight: “Your habits will dictate your routine, and your routine will dictate the quality of your life.” The results are shared below.
My weekly debrief and insights are available to those who support my substack. Please consider supporting my work.
