FINISH

                                Finish....
    This, my second blog of ever is going to be an attempt at somewhat of a motivational blog. We shall see how that plays out when it's all said and done. 


     12 weeks ago, I embarked on a journey to attempt to better myself mentally and physically. THAT small journey is over, and although my mentality and physique have improved on mostly all levels possible, this is a road that doesn't end after 12 weeks, and i'm actually happy of that fact. It's a great thing to know that the improvements you can instill on your own life are limitless, and proving to yourself and to others that you have the capacity to POWER through limits that you THOUGHT were there, well that's a pretty nice gem too. 


     This brings me to the title of this Blog, FINISH... Something I have kind of adopted as a mentality, as a whole, and it seems to be working out great. It has caused me to think about what things NEED to be taken care of, and things that need not be worried about so diligently. You would be surprised with the fact that once you FINISH a task, that is mentally and physically taxing, the easier it becomes to finish others. Then before you know it, finishing has become a new trend in your life, in the place where STARTING used to be.


                                              Boston Marathon


      Well, due to some convincing from someone very close and special to me, I have decided to run the "Boston Marathon". Obviously I wont be doing it in Boston due to the fact that I am deployed at the moment, but it will be held here in Afghanistan, in conjunction with said marathon in Boston, and this will be taking place in April of 2011. The thought of running a marathon has never even crossed my mind, BUT, due to my new outlook, I figure, why not? I am in the best shape of my life, I already run about 20 miles a week, and what person that loves fitness in general WOULDN'T like to say, "Yea, I ran the Boston Marathon." Training for starts tomorrow for me, and thanks to now being a FINISHER, I will only have to change up my training a bit, and adapt. I'm already ahead of the game!
