Losing hope is easy

So I'm sitting here reading newspaper columns on my computer while music plays and I get a reminder of why I'm training for a marathon.

Songs were playing in the background and Jack Johnson sings, Losing hope is easy..."

And that kind of sparked me out of the funk I was in a bit. It reminded me of this quote I came across recently. A local athlete chose to go to West Point instead of Truman State. This is what he said: "It won't be easy, but easy is boring. I want challenges."

And at this moment, I realize that I have a training date with a treadmill. Right now.
