CULT OF JAMES

The night before Thanksgiving. Almost midnight. Seventy-nine minutes of indoor work while the rest of Pensacola was probably asleep or prepping turkey. There’s something about a late-night workout on a holiday eve. You’re not doing it for anyone. You’re not posting about gains.

You don’t track distance because there…

Wednesday night. Thirty-seven minutes of something indoors. No distance, no route, no map to show for it. Just RAI and whatever they were working through that evening. November in Pensacola still holds warmth but the days are getting shorter. Sometimes you don’t go anywhere. Sometimes you just move in place and call it what it is.
