Kyle and I are not only competitive with one another but with ourselves. We are constantly looking for new challenges. Be them physical or mental, life is all about trying new things and learning through experience. And even in Iraq, Kyle continues to challenge himself physically (and mentally too). He has participated in 2 half marathons and the Bolder Boulder run.
A picture of Kyle from the Bolder Boulder satillite run in Balad, Iraq on May 23rd. He even sent me a t-shirt from the run in one of my "reverse care packages" :)
Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. This is what makes me seek out new challenges. They're what make the instrument that is you stretch-what makes you go beyond the norm. And learning that you are capable of these things makes it all worth it. This time in our lives might be one of our biggest challenges yet. Good thing we both like facing challenges head on, fist pumping!
Finishing our first marathon together in 2005.
