Nine mile run tonight in below freezing temps. Not a brag. This sucked. And I didn’t want to do it. Here’s why I did…
I keep promises to MYSELF.
I’m training for a 50K in May. Shoutout to for challenging me to an “oh sh*t” goal this year. This is a physical fitness goal that makes you think, “oh sh*t”! It’s definitely attainable, but not without some serious discipline and training. For me that was a 50K. My first ultramarathon.
You always need a WHY to accomplish hard things. I’ve had a lot of WHYS in achieving some of the goals I’ve set in life. But there’s one that is more important than all the others…
ME.
It took 40 years and a lot of heartache to realize that. But I finally got to a place where I loved ME enough to know that I am my biggest reason.
I won’t ever let ME down.
And so after a 10 hour day of operating, an evening of meetings, and an exhausted body, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “Why am I doing this?!” And the answer was easy…
I keep the promises I make to ME.
Because I love ME.
