Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is just making up life as they go along no matter how much others may seem like they have it figured out so forget about the “should’s” and “supposed to’s” because they’re not real. Figure out what is most authentic to you and go do that.

Another mile swim down

I love this time of year. Trying to appreciate every day for what it brings. Today I’m grateful for the beautiful weather and for friends that will sit out on the deck and enjoy it with me. What are you grateful for? #gratitude

Slower than I wanted but a good swim none the less. #swim #swimmer #triathlete #training #ironman #ironmantraining #IM70.3 #fitness #gay #lgbt #gymlife #gayfit

Just saying.

Successful arm day this morning. #gym #fitness #lgbt #training #gymlife #gay #armday

For fucks sake indeed

Headed on for a ski day! 🎿

Snowmobiling today

Normalize being nice.

Long run day means extra long sauna after. Managed my fastest time yet and had the whole sauna to myself! #itsagoodday #progress #training #Ironman #IM70.3 #fitness #gymlife #gay #gayfitness #running #longrun #sauna

Outside my favorite bookstore in Steamboat Springs

Finished this mornings swim. Managed 2250m in 45 minutes! Slowly but surely getting more comfortable in the pool. #training #gym #swim #IM #Ironman #Ironmantraining #fitness #gymlife #gay #lgbt

The lighting in my guest bath is way better than in mine lol

More of this in 2025.

Sauna after my long run. Really starting to feel strong on the runs! #training #gym #gymlife #longrun #sauna #gay #lgbt #ironman #IM70.3 #Ironmantraining

Woke up to a few visitors hanging out in our back yard! This is the first time we’ve seen two together. #moose #nature #colorado #wildlife #steamboatsprings

20 mile bike ride complete! Really happy with my progress lately on my bike trainer but I can’t wait for some warmer weather to be able to ride outside again. #training #triathlon #ironman #IM70.3 #gay #fitness #lgbt

2024 really was a year of travel. We were fortunate enough to get to join some friends of ours in Iceland this past November to see the northern lights. #travel #iceland #northernlights #adventure #gay #gaytravel

I took this last October at Phantom Ranch after hiking a 17-mile day in the Grand Canyon. It’s a great reminder. #persevere #perspective #endurance #grandcanyon #backpacking #hiking #endure

Workout done. Been really pushing it this week. Looking forward to a rest day and a massage soon! #training #gym #gymlife #ironman #ironmantraining #gay #gayguy #lgbt

Existing should not be political.

Throw back to last years trip to Crater Lake National Park. I can’t wait to go back to the PNW. #Createrlake #Travel #Outdoors #LGBT #Gay #Nationalparks

Got both of today’s workouts done ✅ 5 mile run @ 7:45 pace & 1.25 mile swim at 2:00/100m. Starting to see some good progress! #Ironman #Ironmantraining #lgbt #training #gay

Good morning! Happy MLK Day. "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." ~MLK Be that stone.🙂

The TikTok ban feels nothing more than like a stunt. Playing with the livelihoods of 170 million Americans was never the answer. My thoughts in this special, mid-day newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
