Everyone of you reading this, live free. Which means you come from warrior stock. The blood of warriors and the genes of warriors and the heart of a warrior are within each of you.
Since the beginning of time the most powerful force on any battlefield is the desire to be free. History is filled with leagend after leagend of free people standing up to impossible odds and kicking butt.
The Greeks were evacuating their cities as their horriblely outnumbered army went to face the attacking Persian hords. You all know the outcome of that as a messanger crossed the plains of marathon to bring news of victory.
We Americans remember the rag tag army that won our freedom.
Although they fought to their death we remember the courage of the 185 brave men who stopped the Mexican Army stone cold for 13 days at a little piece of sacred ground called the Alamo.
If you are being held prisioner by a weight concern, a lack of fitness or a low self esteam. It's time to draw strength from the warrior that is within you and declare war on that which is keeping you form being free.
The battle with our personal bonds and demons is not easy. Not even close, they are tough, dug in and hardend by previous failures. Time to be tougher, make a decision to win, to kick butt. Declare war!
Be the warrior you are, decide it's ok to be to hot and to sweat. War is not comfortable and it's not easy. But the rewards of winning your freedom are worth the effort.
Imagine William Wallace in war paint, telling you: Yes you can be comfortable and find happiness for a while in your food. But when you are old and having to be cared for in a nursing home, what would you give to do it over and put in those hours of sweat.
A lot of us are preparing to begin marathon training soon. This year embrace the hard times of training. Snub your nose at the heat. Go after those hills instead of hiding from them. Do your stretching and strength training even if you are doing it while the rest of the family is relaxing in front of the TV, because you are at war and by God you are going to win!

Warrior Jeanne, well you have been wanting to kick some butt for a while. Note to self, stay on Jeanne's good side. 
If you've ever been to a WISH meet, you will clearly see that there are very few specimens of physical perfection. We are all beautiful where it counts, however.........on the inside. Please tell me you would NOT be afraid to approach someone that looks like this: (OK, maybe you would....or at least my kids would be!
