Endurance

Race: lululemon 5K – Run Pasedana CA with the Roses

From the storm-lit nights on the 31st December 2025 to the first sunrise of 1 January 2026, this run became a baptism of grit. Rain stitched silver threads across the pavement, and the pack surged like one heartbeat beneath the glowing arch—every footfall a promise, every breath a spark. We carved lines through puddles, turned doubt into steam, and carried hope on tired legs, proving that endurance is a love letter to tomorrow. As the calendar flipped, city lights crowned the moment: we didn’t just cross a finish—we rose. Wow.

NEXT ENDURANCE – GOGGINS CHALLENGE 4X4X48

I successfully completed the 4×4×48 Goggins Challenge, an endurance event requiring participants to run four miles every four hours for forty-eight consecutive hours. Completing this challenge demanded sustained physical output, disciplined recovery, and mental resilience over an extended period of sleep deprivation and fatigue.This effort reflects the same mindset I bring to training and competition: consistency under pressure, commitment to process, and the ability to perform when conditions are difficult.

Official certificate of completion for the 4×4×48 Goggins Challenge (48 miles over 48 hours).

ENDURE
[Below..] The trail narrows…29 December 2025
The air thins.
And the mountain closes in.
There’s no crowd here. No clock. No one to impress. Just the sound of breath breaking rhythm and footsteps grinding into dirt. Every step forward feels like a negotiation with pain. Every climb asks the same question:
Will you stop?
The mountain waits. It always does. Silent. Unmoved. Watching as doubt creeps in and fatigue tightens its grip. Legs burn. Vision blurs. The body sends warnings—slow down, turn back, rest.
But endurance doesn’t listen.
This is where comfort disappears and excuses die. Where fear whispers and discipline answers. Where quitting feels logical—and continuing feels dangerous. I keep moving, not because it’s easy, but because stopping would cost more.
No one will see this run.
No one will record it.
But this is where strength is decided.
Because when race day comes, and everything hurts, I’ll recognize the feeling.
I’ve been here before.
