Sometimes when we’re out on a training run it gets hard.  Or at mile 18 in a marathon your legs lock up and you ask yourself, “why am I doing this”?

In those hard times, remember that it’s a privilege to be out here.  You’re doing what you love.  You paid to do this.

You owe it to yourself.  But you also owe it to all the people who came before you who never had the chance.

Take this life by the balls.  Live it like you mean it.

PS – Now go sign up for some crazy race that scares the hell out of you.
