WELCOME To the Zentriathlete Space

Welcome to my blog!

The intersection of Happy in the Hills and #zentriathlete.

Welcome to the meta-verse #teamlivingston!

This is the space where I journal about my wanderings and encounters with Awe, Wonder, and Joy! 

I focus on how my wanderings of reasonable self scrutiny intersect with life, mindset, family and my hobby of swim, bike and run. I also focus and take on the dreaded extra disciplines, too (nutrition, recovery, kindness, comfort/discomfort, boredom, etc.). 

Be kind. Be reasonable.  Don’t be a douchebag!

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool!

RYAN HOLIDAY

“Almost universally, the kind of performance we give on social media is positive. It’s more “Let me tell you how well things are going. Look how great I am.” It’s rarely the truth: “I’m scared. I’m struggling. I don’t know.”

ANONYMOUS
