1, 2, 3 of Uncertainty…
Three of the core techniques from Rich Diviney's Mastering Uncertainty Method: 1. Moving Horizons This is the central tool: instead of facing an entire uncertain ordeal at once, you pick a DPO (Duration, Pathway, Outcome) - a small, near-term horizon to focus on. You pick a horizon, create a DPO, move to that horizon, and repeat until either you move through the uncertainty entirely, learn enough to ease the discomfort, or accomplish the goal. • Example: running for hours th

YOUR LOVE IS A WELL If Your grace had limits, we would have reached them If Your love had conditions, we wouldn't meet them With all of my running I thought I'd find the end But then You come running Time and time again Your love is a well that never runs dry, never runs dry One drink from the well and I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied You have always been life for the thirsty So I come before you just as I am With all of my running I thought I'd find the end But then You come run

Goggins the author: Challenges/Evolutions from his 2 books.
People are lazy. Today these lazy people like to poke fun at Goggins and reduce him down to a 10 second clip about boats and logs. Lazy people don’t read books. Goggins wrote 2 books: Can’t Hurt Me and Never Finished. Both books revolve around actionable lessons that we can apply to our lives. These are lessons that David used himself and is sharing with us so that we might navigate the difficult waters of life that are not unique to anyone. I’m posting this because I’m in th

UCAN drink mix + MCT oil = Weirdo Endurance Gel???
Yes, you can absolutely do this, and it is a popular strategy among fat-adapted and endurance runners looking to lower the high cost of pre-packaged UCAN products. However, because of how UCAN's SuperStarch behaves, making it into a pocket-friendly DIY gel requires a specific approach. The Mechanics of Mixing UCAN + MCT The biggest hurdle with DIY UCAN gels is the texture. Because UCAN is a complex, large-molecule cornstarch rather than a highly soluble simple sugar (like mal

Hebrews 12:1 τρέχωμεν
Therefore since we ourselves have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every impediment, and the sin that so easily distracts, and let us run (trechōmen| τρέχωμεν) with endurance the race that is prescribed for us. Let us lay aside every impediment, sometimes encumbrance is used. And the sin that so easily distracts, or sometimes so easily entangles us. As runners we’re already doing a lot of these things. Impediments? Encumbrances? Distractions

Supercritical shoes or shenanigans?
You hit the nail on the head. The industry treats "supercritical" like a magic adjective rather than a manufacturing method. By hyper-focusing on the flashiest word, they manage to completely gloss over the actual chemical makeup of the shoe. They do this for a couple of very deliberate reasons that have way more to do with profit margins than runner education: 1. The "Base Polymer" Cover-Up If a brand put a label on a $160 shoe that said "Premium Plastic/EVA," a lot of consu

1 Corinthians 9:24 & 9:26 NLT
Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. (actually says that lol) I discipline my body like an athlete, training to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. OK so trech

Trechō
In the Greek New Testament, the verb **τρέχω** (*trechō*) occurs exactly **20 times across 17 verses**. Properly understood, *trechō* means to move forward rapidly and with intense effort—not a casual jog, but an arm-pumping, full-speed sprint. While the Gospels use the word to describe literal, physical running, the Epistles use it as a powerful metaphor for spiritual discipline, intense exertion, and endurance. Here is every single time *trechō* is used in the Bible, broken
