Never give up!

My accident was one week ago, and I still hurt, and man, does it suck!! However, I got my butt out of bed this morning, and finally got back to Golds.


As I was running on the treadmill, every bounce of the run hurting, I looked at myself in the reflection of the tv connected to my running machine, and asked myself "What would a Marine do?" So, I bumped it up a notch to get myself to a decent paced run.  Sure, it's not quite back up to where I was before, but I can't make excuses anymore.


This last week, I was feeling sorry for myself, hoping this wasn't going to effect my USMC career. So I decided the only way it would, was if I let it!  I CANNOT give up on this dream! There are a FEW quotes that I feel fit very well in this situation. I am going to share a few, in my mind, that are the best. I hope you can look relate them to yourself, and your goals, whatever they may be!!

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
