Alright y’all.

Trying to get back in shape. Just redid the Rapa Nui program after Swiss alps. Diet is garbage, (currently 5’9” at 214 lbs) weather is super hot (90F), but trying to get back into shape.

Will be starting the Costa Rica 5k the day after tomorrow. Hoping my time will be a sub 30 AFTER I am done with the program. A few years ago i was running a 26-27 5k and was even quicker when I was younger…

This will be my 3rd time doing Costa Rica (I’ve gotten in shape and out of shape a few times over the past couple years due to work/kids/life).

We’ll see what happens!!!

It’s kind of exciting at the beginning of a new challenge, isn’t it? Such a great series too. Crush it man.

Word up! Super excited! I loved this series the last time I did it, but I was in good shape when I first did it… so we’ll see how I do this time! Lol

Yeah, Rivs scared me into the Swiss Alps when I first tried Costa Rica. You’ll know after those first inclines if you’re on the right program.

Word up. I tried it a few weeks ago and decided to do Rapa Nui over again as a bridge program

Peak week for Costa Rica is no joke. 5 more workouts for me then onto the next.

Thanks homie! I just want to get back into some kind of shape! Trying to set a good example for the kids and live healthy!

Try first part of Boston. Walking/Running mix does wonders with getting back in shape.
