As mentioned, this year I’m tracking wellness minutes — one minute of wellness time for every dollar donated.
This little experiment is fascinating. I’m noticing wellness in new ways and being far more intentional about it. I’m realizing that wellness isn’t always about running or sweating — it can be found in the everyday moments when we’re truly present.
Granted, being on vacation this past week has made it easier to log some serious wellness time. But I’ve been deliberate about making the most of it.
Here’s a look at how my week unfolded:
Being present and grounded at the International Impact Book Awards gala — so much so that I forgot to take photos with my mom and wife (other than one red carpet shot!)
60 minutes of meditation (10 minutes a day)
2.5 hours reading and finishing Longship, a great book by my friend Cody Lakevold
Plenty of naps — highly underrated wellness activity
Four 6km runs in the fresh morning air
1 hour at a local community jam listening to live music
20 minutes in a freezing, unheated pool (bonus points for recovery!)
2 hours hiking the Salt River area in Mesa looking for wild horses
Countless hours visiting family in Phoenix and Mesa
Errands and small projects — changing lightbulbs, batteries, and setting up a new TV for my mom at their winter home
30 minutes shopping at an estate store
60 minutes shopping for new shoes and sandals
By my count, that adds up to roughly 19 hours of wellness time — or 1,140 minutes — far exceeding my weekly goal of ~400 minutes.
Some of these might seem like “borderline wellness” activities, but that’s the point. It’s all about perspective. Rather than zoning out in front of the TV or scrolling online, I stayed active, engaged, and present. To me, that’s wellness.

Last week of Movember. Thanks to all of my supporters! We once again raised more than $1,500!! After a big workout on Sunday (45 mins row; 1:45hrs cycle; 45 mins running), I'm at 35.6 hours of activity in November which is 2,136 minutes exceeding my goal to match 1 mins of activity for every $1 donated! What a great way to enjoy November!
