Recently I had the privilege to take part in a 100lb rucksack march to support Camp Patriot, a charity working to assist disabled veterans.  Camp Patriot focuses on lifting disabled vets up by reminding them of how much they are still capable of.  They put on events su...

Today I’m going to experiment on myself.  Yesterday I talked about the factors of how, when we’re motivated solely by pain how we can readily fail as the pain subsides and we return to old habits.  The solution to this is creating a daily vision of not only pain, but p...
