Just a few days ago, while we were [totally off the grid](https://peakd.com/hive-187189/@fermionico/weekend-without-espeng-family-gallery-k83), we came up with—among many unplugged activities and hyped by the younger crew at the “retreat”—a kind of DIY fitness check. The challenge? Sprint full throttle across a stretch of roughly 25 meters (we didn’t measure it precisely) and clock your time. Everyone got three shots to beat their own record. So yeah, it wasn’t about racing others—it was a solo grind, chasing your own stats, building a family archive of physical condition over time. Honestly, I can’t even describe the level of “serious face” the kids brought to this little game, but what I do know for sure is that it was pure fun. And here’s the kicker—the reflection this editor wants to drop comes from a moment that probably wouldn’t have made a ripple if, like in the old days, we’d been “distracted” or “tuned out” from our surroundings.

Turns out some of the girls (my nieces) filmed everyone’s sprint attempts and the final time readings—yep, full-on event vibes for each performance. When those clips landed in my inbox, I was floored. A lot of folks who follow our account know the personal evolution we’ve been grinding through for a while now. I still remember earning the “ogre” badge for free back in the old network, and maybe that bad rep stuck with us longer than it should’ve—I don’t know, don’t care. Why? Because the past is locked, the future’s unwritten, and the present is the only playground where you can actually shift the game. We’ve walked a long road of sacrifice to flip the script on how we act and how we show up. And truth be told, HIVE had a little something to do with that.

Here’s the thing—when I watched those videos, I saw someone who didn’t match how we feel inside. For the first time ever, it hit me: time doesn’t just pass, it leaves marks. The guy sprinting in that clip didn’t feel like me. The stack of years we’ve racked up finally made sense, and we had to face the shift in circumstances. Truth is, we’ve always felt way younger than we’ve been willing to admit. That video? Straight-up reality check. Now don’t get me wrong—I think for our age, the performance was solid, like a “fit grown-up” doing his thing. But that’s all it was. What the footage really showed was someone cruising toward seniorhood, having an absolute blast. And that’s the part we’ve been chewing on lately—the bit we felt needed to be written down and shared.

The three images in this post are a statement of the here and now: the more grounded, less impulsive version of ourselves, plus the effort to live in the moment, is captured in the sunset shot over the central coast of our beautiful country; love and patience are embodied in the image of @aventurerasbike, who’s been a quiet, front-row witness to our shift—and a living example of “do good and love above all”; and finally, the crest of our lifelong team, standing as proof that while behavior may shift, essence stays put, because that’s where identity is born. And in these pivotal hours for humanity, knowing the past can’t be changed and the future’s still unwritten brings a kind of mental peace that’s deeply needed as we step into the early chapters of our third age.
