Nice Work

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer 

is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. 

~Theodore Roosevelt

I have to admit, as much as I like to pack in some volume on training days, the shorter days can give a sense of fulfillment. I do love the feeling of finishing the day's work and being completely exhilarated. That comes with some discipline of sticking to the plan and maintaining intensity for me.

Meditation
I AM the fulfillment of God's plan for eternal life.
