Gus The Camel 😃

I achieved a milestone today.


I broke under 24 minutes at the Bahia Gus 5k in Apopka today at 23:40!


To some, it may not be much, but to me, it is a gigantic achievement.


7 months ago, I could not do a 15-minute mile. Today, I averaged 7:41 for 3 miles.


The mind is way more powerful than the body. If your mind smells victory, your body really has no choice but to hang on......even if it has to spill a little beer and cheetos!! 😛


I approach every single day with a sense of gratefulness that is so huge that it can not be explained. I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams.


If you are reading this, you are blessed too. Go out there today and make love to the happiness and excitement that life has to offer.


Go get you some!!

Rock on!
