My New Battle, my struggle, my inner and outer fight is now to become more then I ever thought I could be. I am in a situation where altitude is kicking my ass. Every workout, my lungs burn, my muscles gasp for O2, I feel like I'm going hypoxic! Since the decline of my eating and hairy training schedule I have taken a few steps back in my training, but this opportunity, if I choose to take advantage of it, will make me stronger, faster, more powerful in the end. This altitude, the struggle to overcome the lack of O2 my body has grown accustom to over the last 31 years, this will be my New Battle. This will lead me to push myself like I never have before, and in the end will pay huge dividends to the overall athletic ability I am in search of!

See Jeremy Thiel's Warrior or Wannabe Post from Tuesday April 14th... I quote "Do you train or live with all of your heart mind and body..... with PASSION?"
