Yes it is

Great post...for some reason it sounds like your fantasy is less Iron John and more Anna Nalick, but whatever keeps you going.

Well my real fantasy is Megan Fox, but that's another thread

Thank you sir. I have had a roller-coaster ride of a 2009 myself so I appreciate this. I will copy it and use it as a reminder to keep training.

This thread means a lot to me as I have taken up training again and am starting from rock bottom. What you have said in your OP I think should be made more obvious to us all. I am getting fed up with all the arguing and drama I encounter on the web and I think it would do us all good to just "breathe" some more on the mat and not really concern ourselves with what is meager and short term. They are only temporary distractions from what is important in life.

We all need to make a better effort to "breathe" and not give up like so many of us do and have done through life.

Good post. I was going to post a similar thread about Army Combatives. We get a lot of people complaining that the program is too sporty, but they ignore the benefit of putting troops in extremely uncomfortable positions and forcing them to work their way out of them without quitting.
