Since starting the countdown to my journey to Japan 104 days ago I’ve started, or continued, some healthy habits that I hope will make my journey better.

Some words from Thich Nhat Hanh: Every morning when we wake up, we should be able to be aware that a new day is offered to us, to live. A twenty-four brand-new hour’s day is being offered to us, to live. It would be a pity if we were not capable of receiving the gift …

26 Days – Lost Dutchman Half Marathon

by StevenBlog Posts, Exercise, Healthy LivingPosted on February 19, 2023No Comments

At 1:37:22, the Lost Dutchman Half wasn’t nearly my fastest half marathon. Actually, it is probably one of my slower races. With that said, it is a result I am really proud of coming off of a tough marathon one month ago and little more than a month to recover. The race had a beautiful …
