4 months ago, I couldn’t run for 5 minutes and hated the idea of running. Now I can go for a 5k run and enjoy it. What happened here? I discovered how to run. It turns out a lot of us try to run too fast. We end up burning out before our bodies warm up. The key to enjoy running is to be kind to yourself and use an easy effort.

I recently got skin infections from Muay Thai training, which took me a couple weeks to recover from. After a few doctor visits, I still don’t know what exactly it was or if it was a mix of things. Eventually with the mix of antibiotic and antifungal treatments, I’m recovered and back into action. Here’s a post on how to deal with and reduce the risk of skin infections in contact sports.

Recently, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get leaner and stronger for my upcoming Muay Thai (kickboxing) fight. I made an effort to do some research. The backstory Some people think I’ve got the genes to be naturally skinny and fit, but I actually try pretty hard too. Since teenage years, I’ve always been trying and failing to eat less. It’s hard to ignore the pop culture influences, even when you think it’s silly.
