Parentcaster

Ran my first race in about a year today for the a village track meet in Okinawa. 

1500m. Clocked in at 5:04.5.

Not a time to write home about, but very light competition so it was a race against myself.

Best thing was making some new friends with the local athletes.

Being a parent changed how I make decisions.

Today, I had a race I'd been looking forward to for a long time.

Yesterday evening, I had a high fever. My son is also sick. 

Before becoming a dad, I would have run no matter what (just rest afterwards).

Nowadays, my son needs me. I have to take care of myself so I can take care of him. 

But I also have to stay true to myself.

Wanna be the very best. Building @moxiescout. ゼニゼニ 



Parenthood shifts priorities. Running can wait, but your son's well-being and being present for him matter the most now.

It's great that you value self-sacrifice, but it's also important to take care of yourself. Finding balance is key to maintaining your well-being and continuing to help others effectively. Maybe try setting aside time for activities that nourish and energize you, so you can keep giving your best.

I'm very heavily oriented towards self-sacrifice, so I have to make an adjustment in the opposite direction.
