What’s your next goal? And why do you set them?

The 10-mile Tough Mudder obstacle course tested our team's mental toughness, and physical capabilities. Thank you Team Hustle Harder, and anyone who helped me prepare for this event - Innovative Results, Warrior Training with Aaron Guyett, and all the Warriors (AAAOOO-AAAOOO)!

I was tired at the end, but very proud for accomplishing this goal. We were looking at four walls to climb by our 9th mile. "Fuck, I'm tired. How am I going to climb this shit," came to mind. I realized that my legs were tired, but my arms were ready to pull me up. I had my team with me, and we went for it!  Great times!

Now, I want to challenge my speed and stamina. Hence, my next goal is to run the Los Angeles Rock ‘n’ Roll ½ marathon on October 30, 2011. We set them to be physically, mentally, and spiritually strong! WE NEED TO BE STRONG! 

PHYSICALLY:
In my opinion, goals are a great way to keep you motivated during your training.  I know that I'll make mistakes that will lead to injury or poor dieting, however, that will not deter me from reaching my goals. I will stay focus, and avoid these mistakes and poor dieting! My efforts begin today!
MENTALLY:
"I can't" will only stop you from winning, and winning is not quitting.  I just started to learn how to swim about a week and a half ago. If it wasn't for the Tough Mudder, then I wouldn't have even tried to go in the water to prepare for the obstacle courses. Don't give up because you are selling yourself short if you do!
You just have to go!

SPIRITUALLY:
Be strong! Focus on the positive things going on in your life. That does not mean to neglect the negative, but fix it. It's easier said than done, however, you shouldn't avoid it. It also shouldn't run your life. 

Being positive will change your life around! Be happy and smile!
