Train where your fitness is NOW, not where you want to be.
Injuries are our best teachers.
Rational assessments too often led to rational surrenders.
We strive toward a goal, and whether we achieve it or not is important, but it's not what's most important. What matters is how we move toward that goal.
As powerful as our legs are, as magnificent as our lungs and arms and muscles are, nothing matters more than the mind.
We all lose sometimes. We fail to get what we want. Friends and loved ones leave. We make a decision we regret. We try our hardest and come up short. It's not the losing that defines us. It's how we lose. It's what we do afterward.
