ACCOMPLISHING A GOAL 2 August 2018
Hey all,
I wanted to share something. I accomplished something throughout the month of July that I would have laughed at a few months back. I completed a goal/challenge to run 75 miles in the calendar month. The most miles I’d ever run in a given month must’ve been somewhere in the 30-35 at best when I half assed a half marathon training a long time ago. I mainly wanted to post this to challenge other people to say fuck it and know that you’re capable of more than you think.
In the month of June, I saw this dude Kevion that I follow on Instagram and have never met set a goal for himself to run a 5k for 100 day’s in a row. Each day, he’d post a ton about his day and his run. I thought, this guy has a hugely successful business and a big family and he somehow finds the time for this, what’s my excuse? I began running 3-4 5k’s each week to start getting back into running shape. Consistency has proven to be the key to everything for me with running. Then at the end of June, I saw another guy I follow named Dee Murthy post a challenge for his run club to run 75 miles in the month of July and anyone that did it would get a $50 gift card to his athletic wear brand Grand AC. I figured it could be a good thing keep pushing me to run more often on those days I had no desire. I started posting on my Instagram story every day that I ran, the mileage and a tune I listened to (sorry to all the people that I beat over the head with that) but I did it to keep myself accountable with all my friends. Moral of the story beyond accomplishing the goal is to spread positivity. Those 2 dudes had no clue that they pushed me through a wall to motivate myself to better myself. This is the exact reason we started Good Future Club and will continue to spread positivity and attempt to motivate everyone. Thanks for that Kevion and Dee. Looking forward to the next OC run!
Here's my playlist that I throw on shuffle every run: RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN

I highly recommend you soak up what both Kevion and Dee put out into the world.
Kevion: follow him on Instagram for a ton of motivational content at @kevion and you MUST listen to his appearance on the Short Story Long podcast: Episode 50. Game changing inspiration. Also, my favorite episode of his own Project Mindset podcast “Billion$ Game”
Dee: listen to his amazing Podcast “Group Chat” w/ Drama, watch his vlog on YouTube and check all the dope clothing brands he runs at themenlohouse.com
