I will always love training.

I love being healthy, but I also am viewing the value of health over performance now compared to the way I used to look at it, where I would rather have all the energy in the world come 8, 9 p.m.

than have run 20 miles at 4 a.m.

that same morning to then be a zombie later.

See, that's where I would love to get to at some point in my life in terms of what the rhythms of my day look like.

Where based on my current role and job,

I spend a lot of time in meetings, Zoom calls, computer.

And I'm not saying I necessarily want to have a farmer ranch in the future, which sounds attractive.

But I want to be outside more.

I want to be physically performing on a regular basis.

And I was just listening to a Mark Sisson podcast this morning.

Mark Sisson is 71, 72 years old.

Great shape.

He's like an ideal.

It's so impressive.

but he was talking about the minimal effective dose of exercise to be able to live the life and perform and function to actually utilize his fitness within his life, not just in the gym, training, running.

And I thought that was so important and necessary.

And it becomes even more obvious to me the older I get, the older my kids get,

But as I visualize what I want to be doing with my body in my day for my work in the future, it's being outside.

It's using my hands.
