It's hot, we're deep in training, and the easiest decision is giving up. But don't spend too much time on the wrong road. Today, we look at why figuring out a way when you're struggling is the biggest win. That can mean toning it down for a bit, regrouping, or simply working on your mechanics. We all want to be strong and fast, but some days it's just not there. The true reward is in the struggle. We do this for ourselves and hopefully the lessons translate into other areas of our lives. As Bukowski said, "What matters most is how you walk through the fire." How do you handle challenges?
