Mile and miles to go

I have discovered that training is no easy thing.

Sometimes we tend to put ourselves in a commitment that we don't recognize how difficult it may be. 

I have to wake up every morning before work and get my run in. This is difficult because I feel as if my summer is no fun because I have to sleep early. Or the fact that I can't stay up until one in the morning because I have to wake up in five hours.

But it is not about the present but the future. 

We must be willing to put in hard work, sacrifice, suffering and all our efforts to attain what we want. Who said life was all fun and games? People have this mindset that life should not have to be difficult or hard. When situations start becoming difficult they back out. You grow in those moments. How do you expect to if you aren't tried.

We must work hard to reach our goal. Whatever it may be.

The journey is difficult but the accomplishment, priceless.

I am anticipating the day I cross the finish line and think to myself, I did it. I did it.
