The video that made me want to be an Iron Man.

#60M2IM Day 7/100

The first time I watched this video, it gave me full-body goosebumps.

I weighed close to 400 pounds. I was an athlete once upon a time, but I was so far removed from that place that it might as well have been a different life.

These men planted a little seed.

There are moments (okay, most moments) where I’m like . . . oh, shit. What am I thinking? I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t even run one mile.

Then I think about Team Hoyt and I think maybe there’s some path there.

In case you want to start from the start.
Day: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
