Looking at these pictures spaced one year apart, I can see the effort and commitment I put into being better, the challenges I overcame to stay the course, and the people (especially my M and F3) who supported me. It was never easy (it isn't supposed to be), but in one year, I lost 15 pounds, ran over 1,200 miles, posted 200+ times in F3, prioritized being a better dad and husband, and improved my mental and spiritual health. It is great to look back on a year and be proud of it instead of disappointed, and I am not done. Bring on 2024.
