The Goal

Feb 25, 2026

To maintain control over my own destiny and soul.. 

5K has been my thing this year. It is my way of maintaining my weight and overall health. I will be doing my 5th 5k this coming Sunday. The 2026 Los Angeles Firecracker race is in the heart of Chinatown. Prior to 2026 I did only two 5ks in my life, the  Bubble-run 5k with my kids- its was brutal.The last time I did the bubble run I couldn't even finish it and my feet was on fire. Now walking and looking forward to completing the 5k has helped with my mental state. 

I am the Master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

"Invictus"

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.
