from Real Things Living · host Brigitte Cutshall
He was given six months to live. Twenty-five months later, he's training for the Ironman World Championship.James Logan was 59, in the best shape of his life, and training for triathlons when a stage four cancer diagnosis gave him six months to two years to live. In this episode of Real Things Living, James opens up about the six-month mental shift from "worrying about dying to worrying about living," how he kept training through 24 rounds of chemo and major surgeries, and why he wrote his book, "Just Keep Tri-ing", to bring hope to others walking the same road. His story is proof that a terminal diagnosis can become the start of the most purposeful chapter of your life.100% of proceeds support the Ironman Foundation!3 Takeaways:(1) The mindset shift is the real battle. James says the turning point wasn't physical — it was surrendering the fear of dying and deciding to focus only on today.(2) Purpose fuels healing. Training for Ironman Kona and writing his book gave him something to move toward, and he credits that pursuit with helping his recovery.(3) You measure a life by impact, not time. James's guiding question — how many people can I positively impact before I go — reshaped how he spends every day.Follow James on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stage42025/Grab his book to help support the Ironman Foundation - https://justkeeptri-ing.com/
