Sorry I've been out of the loop so...Dear John,<br /><br />Sorry I've been out of the loop so long, read your blog today at lunch and although I'm sorry you didn't break the record, it was definitely an improvement over the last time. I'm pleased you've decided not to give in, just keep grinding it out and one day it will pay off. Remember, its not about how much you can take, but how much more you have to give. Give my best to the whole family, especially my Friday workout partner, spartan runs just aren't the same when your not being pushed by a 23 year old.<br /><br />Mad Dog<br />127 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-79668912997522708752014-10-27T22:08:39.626-04:002014-10-27T22:08:39.626-04:00Lucian --

Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."<br />Good luck, Flipper! :)Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-86589577353316444262014-10-26T15:50:39.613-04:002014-10-26T15:50:39.613-04:00Maybe you could wear flippers.
