Give it a watch!

When do you all feel the most present? For me its activities that require all my brain power to focus. Things like dirt biking, playing sports, gaming. If you have ever been skydiving you probably know that its kind of hard to worry about work, bills, health and all that when the ground is coming at you at 120mph.

C'mon, brag a little...What accomplishments or goals have you met fitness wise as a father/dad? I love having something to work towards and find it to be a type of therapy as I push myself towards physical goals. Here are mine: -x2 half marathons -x1 marathon -Zion 20mile trail race -Ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours (Goggin's challenge) -Benched 315lbs -80hr fast (one of the hardest things I have done) -MURPH under 50min What should I do in 2025? I am so scared of triathlons because of the swimming!

I will be moving the Dark Hour Dads call to once monthly. It is officially wrestling season and Lincolns matches are on Monday nights. I love you all but I have way to much fun coaching Lincoln. The next call will be December 9th. I look forward to hearing from y'all!

It seems like everyone always wants to talk about balance. "You just gotta have balance" or "find balance and you will be happy". I use to think that meant my days, weeks, and months are balanced with the right amount of work, exercise, time with family, learning, spirituality, etc... Now I am starting to think the only real achievable balance will be measured in decades. I am being pulled in too many directions right now to have the luxury of balance. If I prioritize something then another thing must be sacrificed. I think there are a lot of dads in the same boat and I think what is sacrificed is often our mental health. I just don't have time for a spa day!
