many miles to go

Here’s another one of these.

This is me talking about what eventually became a really important song for The Confusionaires. Our first music video, the first song on our second album, the first song we self-produced, and really the first song we were each 100% excited with how it turned out.

Not throwing shade on the album before it, as we’re all proud of that one too, but this one definitely meant more to each of us.

The album was ‘From The Headache To The Heartache’ and featured a number of great songs we still play live to this day. ‘Many Miles To Go’ was the one that put it all in motion though.

CURRENT CHALLENGE:

Early 2025: After running between 8km and 10km distances 4 times per week through the summer of 2024, allergies hit hard in the fall, and I went back indoors in September 2024 - though I did get into mountain biking in place of running, and found some aggressive trails to ride in Edmonton's river valley 1-2 times per week. In early 2024 I increased my protein intake and started lifting heavy, as well. Cutting was a struggle through the summer, even while running those distances, but I've recalculated my macro & calorie intake and I'm seeing the desired results now.
