Vee’s Inspiration June 26, 2025

Day 26 of my 28 Days to Savage.  These last few weeks have been tough.  My travel schedule has been full,  my body has been fatigued through workouts, my mind has been tired and if I'm being real, I've questioned why I'm putting myself through this mental and physical gauntlet.  There is no prize money, no bragging rights, no fancy sponsorship, no promise besides pain and struggle.  I’ve questioned myself more now than before other races.  Do I really want to do this?  Why am I doing this? My answer is, “I don't know, but I'm going to do this.”

When I compare this latest Savage journey to life, I see things clearly.  I see the importance of finishing things I start.  I see the importance of going through uncertainty and doubt.  I see the importance of questioning my decisions and asking myself WHY.  I see the importance of acknowledging these feelings and putting them in the proper perspective.  In life, we don't get to just quit because it’s hard, lonely, and at times unrewarding.  In life, we don't get the opportunity to bow out and say I don't want to play anymore.  In life even if we don't acknowledge it, we have an obligation to ourselves.  In life, we have to endure the tough unforgiving seasons before they create the seasons of growth and self-fulfillment.  

Thinking about this and writing Vee’s Inspiration today has helped me.  There have been so many times over the years when I've wanted to stop writing and sending out Vee’s Inspiration,  who would have thought one day Vee’s Inspiration would have save me from making a bad decision to quit.  

I'm thankful for all the people who have cheered for me, encouraged me, and supported this crazy thing called Vee’s Inspiration.  And Ron, I often think about your words,  when you've said,  “Vee’s Inspiration is important and helps so many people and it should be reaching millions of people instead of hundreds.”  Interestingly enough it definitely helped one person today, me.  So thank you!

I have said this often, I train so hard because I only have my training to lean on during these races.  In reality I also train so hard because my training helps me through life.   

Time for me to get a workout in to prepare for my race on Saturday.
