Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
The absolute worst situation in which to thrive and succeed is your home. Full of negative surroundings, thoughts and happenings. There are certain words you must learn here: pain, sacrifice, failure, and that annoying yet redundant feeling of uncomfortability. There are days when it subsides but you and i know it is omnipresent. You can never escape it, even with the pampered trimmings all to common where this place is.......
However, this is the smallest price to pay for what it is you are trying to accomplish. A modicum of your time and dedication towards snatching your dreams from the thief of mediocrity. All that is asked of you is be comfortable......being uncomfortable that is......funny paradigm huh? You know this feeling..the one you get right before you step on to the track for a big race or the first day on that life changing job you coveted.....nope its not that.
It's that uncomfortable feeling right before the moment your life can and will change or will it? It should cause by now it is something you should be comfortable with.... Embrace it because its not going to change, not if you live here anyway. Oh, and where is "here" you ask? A place where Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph are King and Queen. Where Steve Prefontaine is no longer an inspiration but your equal. A place so far away, no "Track" can lead you there. Are you comfortable being uncomfortable?......shhhhhh dont answer!......Let your training decide.

YOU KNOW THAT I HAD TO READ THIS OVER 3 TIMES TO GRASP IT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES "PALETIC" JUSTICE JUST GOES TOO FAR. BUT YOU WERE RIGHT ON POINT. BY AND BY, DONT RELAX THERE. BE UNCOMFORTABLE. RUN YA PEN LIKE YOU RUN YA RACE. YOU'RE THE PEOPLES CHAMP.

Ya, I love what you're doing with your blog. Your not constrained by anything when you write, your just putting it down how you want. Its good.
What and where is ETG, anyway? You mentioned that I might be a potential candidate for it, or something along those lines. I have no idea what I am other then a runner who keeps getting injured, but since you mentioned it if you wanna tell me anything about it let me know.
man u speak the truth

alot of my past is so negative cause of the people i was surrounded by. i talk about alot of it last year and alot of those people found my blog and was leaving all kinds of hate mail. form ex training partners the place i live now. some of the stuff i wrote about was so unbelievable. but i had to get it off my chest. ive had everything taken from me in 5 months. track, school, and the person i loved the most from death. ive learn that pain, disaster, bad surrounds make you stronger and wiser if you try to make the right choices and fight back..... man do what you do. you blogs are powerful......
