If You Want a Special Life, It Usually Means…

Every runner knows the feeling: the burn in your legs, the sweat burning your eyes, the lungs begging for air, especially at altitude. But in those moments of real struggle, something beautiful happens. We CHOOSE to push past our limits, discovering a strength we never knew we had. It's the choice that makes all the difference.
This is the essence of hard work. It's not about talent or luck; it's about showing up day after day, even when it's hard. It's about putting in the miles, even when your body is screaming at you to stop the suffering. Whether you want to run a marathon, climb a mountain, or start your own business, it all takes dedication and perseverance.
But hard work alone isn't enough. We also need to stay hungry. We need to have that burning desire to be better, to go faster, to reach higher. This hunger is what keeps us motivated, what propels us forward when the going gets tough.
So next time you're feeling discouraged DGR, remember why you started. Remember the feeling of accomplishment you get after a difficult run, whether in the rain or snow or ice or slush or wind or freezing temperatures. Remember the dream that you're chasing after. And most importantly, remember that hard work and hunger are the ingredients you need to make it happen before you approach that starting line DGR. I believe in you, now go believe in yourself.

I’m afraid of heights especially the slippery ones full of snow when the wind is strong. The last part made me nervous 😬 👍👍

Just what I was thinking.

You almost always feel good after a cold winter run especially a hard one. Thanks for the inspiration!

I have a real question for you Seth. Love your material by the way. I live in the midwest, always have, so my perspective is from that angle. When you go out at night, or early enough where its still night, and your up in the mountains by yourself, are you ever paranoid ever about mountain lions, bears, or other wildlife? If so, how do you over come that, or what are some precautions you may take for peace of mind?

💯 YES

Whose was the other voice during the video? BTW, great video. I'm saving it to my training playlist and your comments above to my run notes.
