It’s been a while but I have not forgotten about my blog. I will be updating more later but here is a great quote from one of my favorite athletes:

“I ran as hard as I could. In fact, I hobbled past two people in the last two laps. I was 13th, and way off a PR, but I hit the goal I had set for myself. I absolutely never gave up in the race.”

Kara Goucher on her performance at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea

In life and sport I believe what gets us through the tough transitions and “races” in life is an undying spirit to never give up. If we do not have this at the bedrock of our character than we can fall victim to measuring our successes/value by external outcomes or opinions of others. A steadfast belief in our own ability then becomes our anchor when life brings it’s ups and downs. I may not know about you BUT I do know about me….I don’t give up:)
