Fall seven times, stand up eight. ~Japanese Proverb

           

            I am really motivated right now...I know I have said it a million times already, but I am!  I really liked this quote because I am realizing more and more that this whole transition can take a lot of time and I may have several disappointments before I begin to succeed. If I want to get anything big done, I have to stick with it.  You can't achieve something if you don't even get on the path and work for it!  I am working, working, working and I have to keep on believing in myself, no matter how many times I get knocked down on my butt. I am fully back in the swing of things now and I am doing everything I can, controlling all the variables I can to give myself the best shot at achieving what it is I want to achieve.  In this sport, those who can hang on the longest end up being successful because many give up or let go.  I am not one to let go!  There are no shortcuts in distance running…and I'm not looking for any.
