I am running 200 miles this weekend.

Project 200.

It’s the main thing I’ve been talking about for the past 4-5 months.

But it’s been in the works for quite some time.

About 4-5 years ago I was searching up ultra marathons in Texas, when I came across a 200 mile course.

Fast forward March 2024 and I gave it my first attempt.

I failed miserably. Didn’t even finish a quarter of the course.

But that didn’t stop me.

When I say to simply not quit, it’s something that I live by.

The next year and a half had so much trial and error, but if I could go back in time I wouldn’t change a thing.

And for the past 6 months, I’ve been training meticulously and relentlessly, but you can only do so well when learning through trial and error.

And so for the past 3 months I’ve been dealing seemingly with back to back injuries.

Nothing crazy, but definitely has set me back even up to date.

Even now I’m recovering as best I can from a minor hamstring strain from a week ago.

But I want you to take one thing away from this:

Your dreams will scare you. You will hurt. You will laugh. You will cry. You will fall, but you will rise. As long as you don’t ever fucking quit, you will make it to the finish line.

Truth be told, there’s a chance that I won’t accomplish my goal.

But I’m not scared. Not because I don’t feel fear, but because I simply can’t afford to fail, and I actually mean that literally.

I’ve burned the boats and placed all bets on me.

Everything relies on my success this weekend.

So no matter what -

Even if I tear my fucking hamstrings, strain both of my legs and swell up both of my damn feet, I’m completing those 200 miles.

Because this is no longer just about me either -

But about everyone who believes in me and has aided me throughout this journey.

And on top of it all, I have to do it for the people that I’m raising money towards.

For the people in my community that face food scarcity.

If you have anything to give as a donation to the fundraiser, I would greatly appreciate it:

Do hard things.

Believe in yourself.

And chase your dreams.

Stay blessed,

Brandon Aguilera.
