Dear pain and hard work
I hated you
I hated the way you made me feel
I hated the coward you made me become
I would run whenever you came near
I would make excuses to get away from you
I would do anything I could to hide from you
I was more afraid of failing then anything
I was more afraid of the pain then anything
It was so much easier to just live life as it was
It was so much easier to live life without you
A life where you didn’t exist
A life where winning or losing didn’t matter
A life where I was in my comfort zone
A life where people didn’t notice me
But now look at me and what I’ve become
You’ve made me become a better person
You’ve made me bigger, stronger and faster
You’ll always be one step ahead of me
But that doesn’t matter
One day I will be remembered
One day the world will know me
One day the crowd shall chant my name
One day I will be a champion
Thank you pain and hard work

    If you wrote this, it's awsome! It makes me miss the days I swam in college! Good for you for welcoming it into your life. The struggling will make the vicotry in the end even sweeter!

    It's funny, just this morning I was thinking about the trickling effect having success in fitness/health has lead to success in other areas in my life (e.g., work). Putting yourself through this challenge definitely makes you a better person.
