Swepa first off. How you doing, man? I'm doing okay. Can you give us a little insight on your outfit today? So the other day it was hipster coffee. Yeah, this is more just straight up lumberjack. Um, mostly it's that I'm wearing like I I'm dressed a workout after this and so I need over it. So flannel is the easiest. I've embraced my flannel period in my life in color. How are your miles doing now? I think you should tell the people like how far you've come.

I'm doing really well. My goal is to get to, well, I don't want to say that. I'm doing really well. I'm doing awesome. I have more muscle mass now than I've ever had in my life, which is pretty great. That's just been really phenomenal. I have a goal for my 5K by the end of the year. I have a good benchmark that I did at the turkey trot.
