Christmas is upon us, and training is muddling through all the interruptions. But Christmas is important too. I think of all of those in my life that have passed and how it would be nice to have just one more Christmas with them. Things would be different. I would be different, I believe.
If there is one thing that endurance sports have taught me is not to take the life for granted. Don't take your fitness for granted. Every workout won't be great. Appreciate it when they are, like appreciating the people you love in your life while we are here together in this life.
When all this is over, no matter how this ironman thing fleshes out, I will still want those I love to be in close in my life. And so, I muddle thankfully through my training and grateful for relationships and the spirit of this season. I want to take it in deep, as if it were my last Christmas and let it resonate within me and be thankful to God for these people and these moments.
