Tough Mudder 2012....The Re-Cap
We did it!! I just want to thank each of you for making this event more special than it was ever intended to be. I got to know some of you in a way that everyday life just doesn't provide the opportunities to do. The memories from this past weekend will always be remembered along with every one of you. An outpour of emotional emails have been sent in by many of you which are extremely heart felt and I hope more of you can provide your personal experience from the Mudder of 2012 in the comment box below. One email that will forever standout in my mind was from Rose who had the chance to overcome her biggest fear. Hear it is...
"Dear Carozza Fitness: This weekend turned out to be a huge personal goal for me and one of the BEST days of my life and I could never have done this had it not been for you and everyone at Carozza! Doug Cahill, you are a remarkable person. You were the one that convinced me I could do tough mudder when I thought I couldn't. That one simple but profound sentence you said, "overcome your fear", still resonates in me. Yes, fear...it can be so crippling in so many aspects of our lives. Yesterday, standing on that ledge, I was thinking, it's literally just one step away of conquering my deepest fear...it was time to let it go and let all my other fears, failures and uncertainties go...and so I JUMPED!! I came out of that water screaming at the top of my lungs feeling completely liberated!!! What an unexplainable feeling!! I truly felt on Top of the World!! What makes even more special was the opportunity to share that moment with the BEST group of teammates I have ever encountered! The commradary, determination and hard work were second to none! How can I not jump when all I could see at the bottom were a bunch of inspiring, muddy and supportive teammates rooting me on to take a leap of faith! And that I did! Thank you Carozza Fitness from the bottom of my heart and to all the new wonderful friends that I have made."
It’s not always where you are in life, but who you have by your side that matters most. Some people drain you and others provide soul food. Be sure to get in the company of those who feed your spirit, and give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.
Until next time...
