"It's the Elevation"

After some thought, and the serious need for an excuse, I have rationalized my way to accepting my lack of training success in Hermosillo. Yes indeed the elevation is similar to St Thomas, ....but....I'm sleeping on the 4th floor of the hotel which is at least 50 feet higher. This seemingly little difference leaves me in a terrible oyygen debt by morning, of course resulting in overall fatigue and a state of low spirits. "It's the Elevation"

To compound that, by the time I finished work today it was already dark, forcing me to use the hotel stairs for some kind of exercise. The top of the hotel towers another 2 floors or 2o feet at least. Not a wonder I feel like such a sorry excuse for an athlete. "Its The Elevation"

I'm also close to 6 feet tall such that every time I stand up to go running I'm way, way higher. "It's the "Elevation"

Then of course there is the obvious fact that I live my life with my "head in the clouds" especially when I work with Mexicans, as they buoy you with their very nature. "Its the Elevation"

Anyway...whats the point of this? There isnt any, except maybe for this.

Why am I so blessed as to have the best job in the world, the most remarkable friends, a family that I don't deserve, and this guy in my life?



"Its the Elevation"

Thats all I got for today, mostly because I had a long, but satisfying day, I am still very underslept, and I need to eat and go to bed as I need to get up at 5am to catch my plane. I hope it doesn't go too High!!

I wish to finally break my pattern, and dedicate day 23 to my beloved Colby....who made the place inside me where I hold my loved ones exponentially bigger just by coming into my life.
"It must be the Elevation"

I have decided that I should start crediting the quotes I have used when I know the author. In case I ever decide to write that book eh? And so.

Walk fast! Be happy!
