I read that & I felt like I was there too. I could hear you pushing yourself & challenging yourself & just not allowing yourself to back off. It inspired me but even more than that, it made me tear up because that is the stuff of greatness. That pushing beyond what we even knew we could & what we certainly wouldn't have unless you made a strong resolve, an absolute commitment to yourself to do so. Self coaching to the point of wanting to slap the coach in your face (like Jill on Biggest Loser - just not a big fan of hers lol...) But you are right, we have to do that for ourselves don't we? I have always done that when it had to do with work, but when it comes to exercise and physical labor... not so much. Wow... Excellent job Chad! 45 minutes, YOU ROCK!

Perseverance... whew... tough one but so necessary to accomplish really anything of value. Wow I respect you, getting up early & getting to the gym & working out the hard stuff... even when it is windy & really cold outside! Yep... that takes some kahunas... errr I meant perseverance for sure! Thanks for the shout out btw. :) One more thing... You wrote a paragraph that is absolute wisdom. If everyone would really take hold of it, life would be different... better. Many really bad consequences would be diminished or just never take place as a result. Wisdom! You wrote: "People don’t fight for their marriages daily. They don’t fight for their kids when it counts. They fall asleep and sign their life away in debt agreements and they cease to live. They breathe, breed, consume, make excuses, and live far lower than they are capable of and designed for. Wake up, you who sleep. Fight the mediocrity of the day that wants to enslave you. Fight for your marriage. Your family. Your identity. Your goals. Your health. Your convictions. Yourself." AS I see you "walk it out" consistently, it keeps me mindful of my own walk,my own life, my own habits & perseverance. I have to say it once again: Thank you... your walk as posted here is helping me with mine... Love you much. Excellent blog post (again)!!!

I am so glad to know I'm not the only one who feels the burn after 30 seconds and is ready to quit after 5 minutes. I've decided that all along, I've been a wimp. Half the time, I don't even start, and the other half the time, I poop out when things start getting tough. But, you reminded me that I HAVE to plow through the difficulties before I can really triumph over my "allergy" to exercise. It's hard and I hate it, but after the fact, I have no regrets. I have MORE regrets when I give up than when I push. Triumph costs sweat and grit, and I am determined to triumph. I love you, and I'm so proud to be a part of this journey with you.
