One Amazing Hour

My body is tired, my ears are still plugged from the flights down here, and my annoying cough is still lingering. However, I just spent an amazing hour in a hay field behind my sister's house with a hunting dog named Grizzly. Despite the physical state of my body, I feel great...content. :o)

The amazing hour of which I speak consists of an attempted jog around the hay field (too many holes, so I decided to walk--Grizzly ran back and forth), taking pictures of the scenery, repping out all the forms in a row...twice, a bunch of lunges and squats, and A LOT of self-reflection.

I realized something about myself: when I get overstressed and nervous about failure, I think about quitting. I don't want to quit, I want to reach my goal, and many of you have shown your support for me to make the right decision for myself. Well, here it is: I'm not quitting.

I am struggling, but struggling to meet a goal and accomplishing it brings even more fulfillment. I think I need a push-up partner if anyone is interested...

There are a few days left before the test, so I'm going to see what I can get done with my push-ups, etc., and I'm going to create a plan for finishing everything else within the first two weeks of the next phase. Off to do some push-ups...
