Strength coaching for busy dads. Built by a sports chiropractor. Real results, no wasted time.

11/04/2026

I had a run scheduled for today.

I planned on doing it early before work and before the family woke up.

I didn’t.

I rescheduled it for tonight after the family went to bed.

It’s not going to happen.

My daughter turns 2 tomorrow.

I have a kids kitchen to build for her birthday.

They were gracious enough to sneeze and cough into my face, mouth, and eyes repeatedly so I’ve been fighting off a low grade head cold.

The priority is my daughter’s birthday present and my health

I’ve got a scheduled track workout tomorrow morning we’ll be waking up really early for.

So a night workout wouldn’t have been ideal.

It’s okay I missed the workout.

That’s going to happen.

I’m not a pro athlete.

I’m not some high level runner with huge aspirations.

I’m a dad training around a crazy schedule for work, a family, and other responsibilities.

A lot of younger influencers will have you thinking you can’t miss a session or it’s the end of the world.

It happens.

Move on, don’t worry about it.

It’s more important to keep moving forward and keep training after the missed session.

Onward.

I’m someone who really likes to be self reliant for a lot of life.

I’ve been putting off this project to sew the button back on my pants lately

But tonight I forced myself to attempt to for 30 minutes and finally got it.

Don’t look at the back it’s not pretty, but it’s functional.

This lesson is something I apply to coaching my clients and patients

It’s great to have the support, but nobody can do the work but you.

It’s awful because it’s a messy process learning to do what you need to, what you have to stress about, and the time it takes.

But once you figure it out, the way becomes simple and just takes time.

I’m patting myself on the back over here for this button.

Although it’s a mess, I did it.

Just like you will achieve your goal of changing your body, or rehabbing an injury.

All you need to do is push on

Hyrox training reminding me of wrestling conditioning

Anyone else getting bullied by their program?

Parenting is a constant debate of “is this too dangerous for them?” While they do it anyway

Jk I love this race

It’s hard to beat the views in the eastern sierras

I got married here 4 years ago

And we hired the local BBQ legend to cater the wedding

In communicating with him and his wife I discovered that she hosts Ridge Rambler 1/2 Marathon | Bridgeport, CA.

I was still in school and hadn’t even entertained the idea of running again after a decade off and bulking up to 40 lbs heavier than when I ran consistently (weight training obsessed)

I thought maybe I could do an event and treat athletes at the race

And then…

Running started agin a year later

Ran my first half marathon at sea level in w**e country

Then thought to myself, “what’s harder? A half marathon at 7,000 feet would be harder”

So I signed up

And then my son got me sick on repeat for 2 full months before the race. Training had ceased.

Sam was pregnant with our daughter, and we visited instead.

The year after (last year) I convinced my nephew Zyhler ferguson to run it with me, and then with little training, he beat me by over 5 min 😂😂

And here he and I are, again, running the race.

Looking forward to the challenge, and just trying to be better than last year.

Anyone want to join next year? Last Saturday of September…

To think this was probably the worst start to the year I’ve ever had.

Then we bought a house

Now renovating that house
