Zach of All Trades
BY
I’m Zach, a 40-year-old dad, a jack of all trades, and a wearer of many hats. As I navigate the whirlwind of parenting, work, and the occasional home repair crisis, one thing has always taken a back seat: my own health and fitness.
Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and I’ve faced my fair share. Juggling family responsibilities and a myriad of tasks left me feeling like I was running in circles, but not in a way that was doing any favors for my health.
But, I recently stumbled upon a path that has become a game-changer for me: running. Yes, you heard it right, this multitasking dad has found solace and success in putting one foot in front of the other.
So, why start a blog?
This little corner of the internet is my way of sharing the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of my journey to get fit and find balance in the chaos of daily life. I’m no fitness guru or professional trainer, just a regular dad figuring things out one stride at a time. When I scroll through Instagram I often see creators who are in incredible shape saying “with this one exercise” or “all you have to do is this”, the reality is there is much more nuance than that. Different things work for different people and the key is finding something that works for you. Also, everyone has different goals, establishing what your goals are is an important first step. For me, my goals are:
- Be able to move effortlessly to play with my kids
- Improve my health so I can watch my kids grow up
- I do not want to rely on medication
What to Expect:
1. Dad Wisdom: Expect a dose of dad wisdom, humor, and real talk about the challenges of staying healthy while keeping up with the demands of family life.
2. Running Chronicles: Join me as I lace up my sneakers and hit the pavement. I’ll share my running adventures, the triumphs, the struggles, and everything in between.
3. Jack of All Trades Insights: From DIY projects to life hacks, I’ll sprinkle in bits of my “jack of all trades” experiences because, let’s face it, life isn’t just about fitness; it’s about finding harmony in the chaos.
4. Occasionally post about the Bronco I am working on
