Good one Brent. we should really ask a question that are we running for kudos or inner peace/mental health. I remember the below statement from Sam wrote it in his old blog, I felt its 100% true.
"If something doesn’t affect you directly, you’re not likely to care for very long. People can be proud of you, tell you good job and give you a pat on the ass, but if we are looking for fulfilment and contentment in other people’s reactions to our achievements, we’re only setting ourselves up for disappointment."
This is so true brother. I think going to Thailand was an eye opener for me. People have literally nothing and are some of the happiest people in the world.
Thank you brother, we're going for more loops than the Gumbaby then whatever happens from there is fate :D feeling good though, about to put some hay in the barn.
I agree with that first and second point completely and it's sad that one we have to sift through the information, and even worse the people who take advantage of people who just want to be a bit healthier.
I think through community share people are getting much better information than ever before. Alfred for example showed me I was eating way too little, and was absolutely contributing to my binging tendencies.

Brent, I love having you back in the Strava running community mate.
Regardless of what happens, I look forward to cheering you on for that road leading to and the event that is Gumby! Go Brent!

Great post Fordy and some thoughts:
- all the information is making us more confused and tired as we try to figure out what’s true and what’s bullshit
- most of the fitness industry prey on peoples insecurities and have convinced them that they only way to feel good is to lose weight.
- people usually share what works for them to help others
Thank you mate.
