  You ever hear that Michael buble song, “Feeling Good”? It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Well, if you’re training on a regular basis, your training should do that for you too! Now, that good feeling will take many forms… Sometimes its all about testing yourself and embracing the suck… That feeling of accomplishment and confidence you get from running the gauntlet.

That good feeling you get because you know you’re learning, growing and Keeping Going. Also that good feeling because you are connecting with some great people and together you are sharing this journey.

You’re going to get hurt, sick, a new job, married, kids, whatever… These and other set backs are all a part of life and part of your training. As Ryan Holliday’s book says: “The obstacle us the Way.” The real question is, what’s your… BOUNCE BACK RATE!? Unfortunately, most simply bounce out, never to train again. Doing that means missing out on all of the benefits that can only be realized through your training. The Long View… One thing you have to have is a Long View of your training.
