i’m running 300km
10km every day. for 30 days. until my album “i, sabotage” releases on oct 17th.
a few weeks ago i wrote a post questioning “am i doing enough?” the logical side of that argument is that a mindset shift was appropriate. the crazy side of me, and to be honest, the side that usually wins said, “come on, do more.” so here we are.
to be honest, i was feeling kind of listless going into my album, like i needed something to keep me focussed. i’m not sure if it’s because it’s my 5th album, but i just felt like i wanted to try something new. i remembered training for my first marathon, it kept me locked in. physically and mentally. so there’s one benefit. two, i think i like pushing myself? i’m unsure if this is even possible so that’s exciting. a fear of failure usually indicates that it’s something that i have to try, especially after i make myself publicly accountable. three, i don’t think i’ve ever posted every day for 30 days, and so far this has been the most challenging part.
finally, this is a metaphor for what the album is about. to me, “i, sabotage” represents overcoming that annoying fucking voice in your head, the one that says “this is a dumb idea,” “you can’t,” “it won’t work.” i want to live this concept that i made an entire record about.
i’m currently 5 days in if you want to follow along:

ps: pre-save my album!
