Getting up

The warm bed, you hear the rain pound on the windows, your body says stay, your mind tells you it's not that bad of an idea to get that last 10 minutes of rest. You turn away from the clock, take a deep breath and close your eyes. Then, like a shock, a small ember in your gut begins to ignite. All this training, all this preparation and you won't even get out of your comfort zone? The ember turns into a flame and you get up, the flame becomes a roaring fire and you are putting on your running shoes. No rain coat is needed, shorts, shirt, shoes and your out the door. Feels good when you are done. Get out of the comfort zone, be a lion not a sheep. Tackle the challenges, never never quit!
