I just showed up. Someone had hit me the night before at midnight or one, and they're like, oh, there's a 5K tomorrow. My first 5K I ever ran. was your guys'. And I just showed up and I ran. I actually missed the finish line at your guys' 5K. For real? You just kept going straight? Yeah, because I saw things online after that, and they said Trav just showed up and ran and just ran right off.
It's actually because I didn't see the finish line, and I just kept running. It was the most punk rock thing ever.
Yeah.
Oh, amazing.
Just trying to get through that lunch or that meeting. It was a... it was a wedding meeting like about our wedding and it was just so tedious and repetitive. So I had to get, I had to get high every time I walked into those meetings, you know? Um, but yeah, I know years later when I found out I was having my son, I just literally had this idea like, I need to be a better human.
I need to be stronger. I need to be faster. I need to be like a good example. So I ran to the freeway and back from the house I was living at. It was about four or five miles there and back. And I just started doing that every day because I knew I wanted to be better. And around that same time, I walked into a boxing gym.
just started boxing and jumping rope like learned how to jump rope with uh this boxer named john braze uh who had a spot in the valley out here and i just never have left it even when i wasn't sober when i was doing drugs i would wake up and run three to five miles a day for real yeah for real so i party every night usually and uh
I couldn't do that much. I needed to not take as many pills, needed to not smoke as much. So just started balancing, and then all of a sudden it teeter-tottered towards, well, it's a long, long story. Years later, it teeter-tottered one way, and I never went back.
I actually just saw it when I was coming to your spot here. We exited, I don't know what exit, what was that? Was it like Van Nuys or something?
But I passed by the burn center I was at, the Grossman Burn Center. It's not the burn center anymore, but... That's where you were? Yeah, I have like six months of just memories being there. I had 30-something surgeries. Yeah. almost had my foot amputated. So I had all these memories just driving here really quick. But long story short, I got sober in a burn center because I was in a plane crash.
I never went to rehab. I was beginning therapy, and I was in the mindset that I wanted to get sober, but I was sort of forced to get sober.
Well, yeah, I was there and I was, I think I had 30 something surgeries within a five to six month period. What's a burn surgery? A burn surgery is where, you know, they would take, because like all the back of my leg, 70% of my body was burnt.
Yeah, you can kind of tell, like I've tattooed over everything. My legs, you can really tell, but my legs all the way up to like the top of my back was all severely burnt. And what they do is they take good skin from the front of your body and from the top of my back, and they use it to add to the skin where you were burnt.
and bring it down no they can't no it's like a cheese grater they like they just cheese grade your skin off um and then they place it it's i mean it's amazing what they do like i the dr grossman is the best at what he does and so is the the augusta burns center i was in in uh in georgia But yeah, they basically use the good skin on your body to replace all the burnt skin.
It started off like that. It started off like that, like... I can't believe this happened and I'm in a burn center. But then when drugs started, like, wearing off and I started figuring out that I also lost, like, three of my best friends, that was – and the two pilots that were in the plane, I was just like – It's even darker. It's not about me. It's just about everything.
I just lost trust in the world. I was like, how did this happen? I was such in a bad mental place. You seem so good right now. No, through all that, did a bunch of post-traumatic work. Fell in love with running.
It's the best, because it is an accomplishment, correct? For sure. Oh, I felt so accomplished after doing it. It was, I think I did your guys' 5K and one other 5K, and then I did the half marathon. Really? So, yeah, I think for me it was... After everything I went through, they actually told me I wouldn't run. They said, you won't run again.
From all the stuff that happened to your foot and your graphs, you're not going to be running again. You might not be playing drums again. So I just started checking off everything they said I couldn't do. Bam, bam. And that's where I started getting addicted to running. And then through these 5Ks, I meet people that are... telling me they've never thought about running or walking a 5k.
And I have all these people that aren't normally outside, aren't normally doing any kind of exercise that are out there just like doing it and doing things they didn't think they could, you know, are capable of. So that, that was really cool. And, um, and then I just like your guys 5k, um, Gosh, who did I run with? That was a beast.
Yeah. Do you know Cam? We've talked before, just like on Instagram. And right as I go to the front, they're like, hey, you want to set off the race? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, for sure. And then he's right there and he's like, hey, what's your mile? And I'm like, fuck. I don't know what's with my mile. I don't even know what he's saying. It's like another language to me.
