Yeah.

You texted me that last night as I was falling asleep.

Because my phone vibrated and I had to take my mask off.

I was actually talking to Chad about this as well on the podcast.

because him and his wife Brooke are about to have their first child.

And I was sharing with him, like when you become parents, your own personal ambitions and goals and passions don't have to die, but they're going to look different.

The way that you pursue them is going to have to look different.

And you can't be selfish with your time and your energy.

That's something I'm learning in the season right now is there's a difference between time and energy.

I can make the time to do all these things that I want to do and still show up for the family.

But am I showing up with the energy that I want or am I a zombie?

That's why I'm not doing... I'm not committed to any fitness preps or races in 2026.

It's because even when I was in Ironman prep last year, yeah, I...

Got my runs done before the family woke up.

I did all my other workouts throughout the day.

And I was home by 4.30 p.m.

every day for the family.

But I was a zombie.

But I was still there.

There's a big difference between time and energy.
