Life brings lots of changes and challenges and how we deal with them defines what we are made of. I once remember reading, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Life got tough and I got going. My passion for running was boxed up and put in the closet, hopefully to bring out again in a year and half when my daughter Carly starts kindergarten. In August 2012, I will have both girls in school and dad can focus on his running. By that time, I will have completed more rounds of P90X and Insanity and that should mean that I will be stronger on my runs than ever.
Today is the beginning of a new P90X journey and also proof that when life gets tough, you can get just as tough back and use the opportunity to create a new and better you in the process.
P90X Chest & Back done, 89 days to go in this journey!
