Hated every step.
Lost count at least four or five times.
Pants were a bad choice.
Not having a drink was a bad choice.
The music I put on sucked.
I wanted to quit over 100 times.
I fought against myself “accidentally” miscounting numerous times.
It’s not the fastest but I did it.
Not doing it would have been much easier.
I was alone in my backyard, no one would know. I would.
No one would question it if I said I did it in X time but then when it came time to put up I know I would be less than I said I would be.
No one would know but everyone would know. There is the phrase that stress or battle do not create character they reveal it.
If I do not live up to the task, the standard then I have no business ever asking anyone else to do the same.
I am the standard, I am the standard that I wish for others to live up to. I cannot expect anything more than that.
Therefore I am a firm believer that I should never ask athletes to do anything I haven’t done, will not do, or wouldn’t attempt to do.
Our needs differ by degree not by kind.
Today was a mental battle!

Many people ask how I am doing.
It’s another bump in the road. It’s another obstacle to prove how much I want something. It’s another evolution to get through.
I have opportunities to quit almost everyday, excuses to get out, reasons to fail. They are infinite as grains of sand.
Those reasons to quit do not matter because my reasons to keep going are that much stronger, they are powerful beyond measure.
Quitting and giving up have never crossed my mind. It’s not even a possibility.
I will find a way, always.
I’m not the best, I’m not the smartest, I’m not the strongest, but you will be hard pressed to find someone willing to go as long as me. To give everything and find more.
So, how am I doing?
I’m helping people everyday near and far. That’s my passion and I’m grateful I can do it. I’m learning to work in new ways and help people in ways I never knew I could.
It isn’t what I was ever expecting but I’m making the most of it and when we are back in full effect we will be stronger, better, and more effective.
