Man your house/land is GOALS. I would absolutely love to have something like that one day.

yeah i was just talking with my best friend last night about the idea of buying a place together with his wife and another friend. we live in really expensive places (SF, DC) so this would be a kind of shared retreat situation somewhere cheaper and more beautiful. seems more realistic than buying homes where we live and i love the idea of (1) owning some land in common with close friends and (2) having a place that i know i can go back to year after year that's in a beautiful setting far away from crowds.

yea man if it's a best friend/someone you just know you can trust, sounds solid.

being able to disconnect daily from the city life feels every bit as incredible as i thought it would. when i'm home, feels like i'm in the middle of nowhere. absolutely love it.. 

i mean i'd rather own something 100% but that's just because of how i trust people. but someone i know was talking about that recently and seemed like they were so happy at the thought of doing it. so def seems worth considering!

two days ago:

2021-03-23

evening #2: 5 hours of farm life!!

awesome and physically rough. love it.

mulched a big trail i carved out over the last few weeks. couldn't be more happy w/ it.







yesterday:

2021-03-24

tons of pullups/dips as usual .. lookin shredded!

evening: light trot = 3 mi @ 7:37 -> super ez.. good sign!

- that's kinda nuts..... that's like really good fitness.. i used to trot 7:XX's when i was in peak shape before injury way back .. tho, i could do it for like 10 miles. i coulda kept this going for more miles but, keeping volume low.

evening #2: 3 hours of FARM LIFE

more mulching, shoveling, and used this big long tree that i cut down (was leaning) to make a little rustic gate :F





also, love how this came out, omg.

Man your house/land is GOALS.

damn man thanks alot hah. and ya man i pinch myself daily, no joke. it's crazy.

I would absolutely love to have something like that one day.

nice ! one day do it ! best decision i've ever made. it's like this big canvas that i get to paint for decades to come, i can't believe it. love it.

if i wasn't working in the area, i'd have moved further north and gotten 10x the land for the same price .. that's the only "bummer" BUT, the location i'm in right now is pure gold. it's incredible. surrounded by state parks, 15 min from the beach, ranches/farms everywhere, no encroachment.

just blows my mind.

and man, it's getting me in insane shape. love it.

so just keep saving & one day go for it !

today is partly cloudy, but once the sun pops thru.. <3

this video of me giving the gator a boop, must be linked somewhere. getting lots of views lol.

adarq man, i'm telling you, come up and visit. i was thinking about you on sunday's run, going through rock creek park. so many beautiful places to run around here. so many races (when covid returns). i know you're kind of semi-retired from running, but if and when you get healthy, come on up. especially if i end up able to rent my friend's place, where i'd have a spare bedroom.

man i need to take you up on that. and i really appreciate it. sounds great.

i've always been so comfortable uhh, not going anywhere. the last 6 months or so has been very different for me, opening up to lots of new things (ie house, wine, not-gf (complicated lol), fires, etc lol). need to add traveling to the list, especially to see friends. so i'll probably take you up on that this year!!! would be dope to visit and hang out.
