Week 25 of running a 5K until $ETH price hits $5K.

Cloudy and rainy weekend in Portland, depressing price action; decided to slow it down a bit. Might go eat some pho…

This year, I am going to run at least one 5K every week until the price of ETH hits $5K. 

The beautiful thing is, I win regardless 😏

Week 26 of running a 5K until $ETH price hits $5K.

It’s been half a year (🤯) since I started running a 5K a week, so I decided to go all out on this one. It didn’t feel great - my heart rate was between 165-171 bpm most of the time - but it’s crazy to look back and see the progress I’ve made. From around 7:30/mile pace to ~6:00/mile. 😮‍💨 Unfortunately, $ETH has gone from $3,670 to < $2500 in that time, so I may be doing this a while. 😆

Thanks to everyone who has supported me along the way!

There is nothing more powerful in this world than words.

I mean that's an insane time, congratulations. Think you can go faster? 

Were you always a runner? Or sporty? Don't know if I'll ever be able to make it around 5km that fast.

I surprised myself, honestly. 

Sometimes I have it, and sometimes I don’t. I can’t quite put a finger on what it is exactly; probably just general energy/adrenaline levels.

I’m definitely more defined than I when I started. The struggle for me has always been adding good weight while doing so much cardio (aside from the weekly runs I share here, I run/bike/climb stairs almost daily) and without changing my diet much.

hows the physique? are you losing fat in crazy places?

That was my thought at the time too! 😅

6 months nice!
Back then I would have said 5k by now is looking like a lock 🤣
