on Sunday, I crossed the finish line at my 3rd major marathon in Chicago, marking the halfway point on my 6 world majors tour

a fun, unintended result of deepening my meditation practice is seeing consistent improvement in my HR & HRV
during a 10-day meditation retreat:
• resting HR: 48-53bpm avg → low 40s
• HRV: 60-80ms avg → 145ms one night
my Oura ring now picks up my sits as naps from drop in HR

earlier this month, I kicked off my first ever sabbatical, something that’s felt out of bounds for me
I’d long bought into the belief it was the organizations we belonged to & titles we held that brought us closer to fulfillment and made us most legible to others
