So, I started with my usual marathon playlist. had the southern country stuff going. I got a few songs on repeat initially

In brooklyn, near the cafe, I was at Ohio river on repeat a few times. It helped.

Then I moved on to the older stuff. Rah thing. This was closer to mile 20. I was feeling emotional. I told myself that I was going to complete this marathon to make up for all the failures my 13 year old self saw me as.

And then, I moved to my OWN MUSIC. Right at the end – my own music was carrying me to the finish line.

I had to turn the music off on the Queensboro Bridge because I was running out of battery.

This marathon was the tracer bullet. I now know what to expect. This is how I learn.

I am getting PSYCHED about the next version. Likely in 2026. Let’s fucking go, dude!

Running causes Mental Adaptations.

Run in the morning.

Lift like a lifter

Look like a body builder

Run marathons

Its like the military

It’s just me with me.

I can be anywhere and do it

I can explore the world

It helps me be a leader. I dunno why but it does.

And it is for life.

I fucking enjoy it.

It calms me down

And I can improve all the time here.

The MIND is in CONTROL. Your BODY is beyond.

The world is out there to GET YOU. The shitty food. The constant distractions. The work stresses. But when you are running, it is YOUR PORTAL TO A DIFFERENT DIMENSION.

Harry Potter?

Harry Potter’s Patronus

Harry Potter audio books were with me for the bulk of my journey. I listening to all 7 of them, and then restarted and went up to middle of book 4.

It was GREATwill always cherish this.

Been loose with the diet. Havent done any workouts. I have just been chilling. Work has been intense. But now I am thinking about coming back.

So I achieved the marathon goal. I finished. But my pace was not great.

Remember some things that you did:

• Running plan: I tried to get the miles per week. This is key
• 185 grams of protein. Low carb.
• Sleep

Remember the cravings:

• They go away.
• Hunger is satisfied with protein and water
• Carbs suck balls

I will keep some of these things. Especially the food. I want to track my intake but the focus is on protein and low calorie.
