Yesterday I didn’t get a workout in. Rare for me. My mindset was off all day.
Today I trained. Everything feels aligned again.
Discipline keeps my head straight.
A few months ago I pulled back from most social media to focus on my core work, jimlunsford.com and building Disciplined Recovery.
I needed the time and space to get everything aligned.
Now that it is, I’m branching back out on the platforms for link posting and the occasional thought.

Today's workout: 8.1 miles. 2 minutes max situps. 8 sets of max pullups. 5 sets at 160 lb farmers carries.
As promised, here’s the “more soon.” I’m back to normal after the collapse a couple of weeks ago. The blood pressure meds are working. I’m back to my regular run training cadence and feeling strong again. I’m also doubling my strength training. Why? Because what’s next for me full-time is going to take me back into a world I know well, and I need to be sure I'm ready. I can’t share details yet, but it will use everything I’ve learned over the last 11 years. Not a cop. Not corrections. Not a recovery coach. But something that touches all of it.
My GP confirmed the recent heart issues were stress related. I’m working on fixing that. More on it later. Low dose blood pressure meds, follow up in a month. I’m good. Logged 2.5 hours of running over the last three days with no issues. Tomorrow I head back into the belly of the beast.
My recent ER visits didn’t show major damage. Maybe some minor issues I’ll follow up on Tuesday.
What they really revealed was how much my work environment has been affecting me.

Feeling good about how jimlunsford.com is lining up.
After a couple of years of figuring out my voice and how I want to publish, it finally feels dialed in.
The mission wasn't changed, just refined. Put the work out there and let it help who it helps.
