I use to say life was a 400, get out, relax and maintain, then finish strong. However as I get older, I start to see my life resembles a 400 hurdle race. No matter what, for every 13 to 15 strides there's a new hurdle and they're only getting higher as the race goes on and fatigue begins to set in. Worse, I know that my only option is more pain because failure is inexcusable and hurdles should never hinder your progress towards success. //
