Explore Austin Week #3

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is

a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the

obstacles. Your decision to be, have, and do something out of

the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are

out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is

simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."

~ Brian Tracy

One of these guys told me this week....

"It's not the getting up at 5 a.m. that is hard to do, it is the deciding to do it, that is the hard part..."

They have been going strong at 6 am for 3 weeks now and I can not tell you how fun it is be a part of this excitement!!! The explorers and the mentors are all very motivating, encouraging, and inspiring! Wait a minute, I thought I was coming here to be the motivator, but the positive energy is contagious in this group! This Thursday is our last workout before they take their big trip to backpack in Colorado! Our focus has been personal strength and endurance but even more it has been teamwork and encouragement! These guys are ready to conquer any mountain together! They have even inspired their family members to come out! This has been a voluntary workout for these guys and some of them have not missed a day! Those that were sitting on the sidelines the first day are finishing the entire workout and pushing others to finish now!
