Hill Assaults

I dare you to sprint up a hill and do ten push ups, and repeat, ten times. Why? because accepting a dare is one way of breaking out of the boring and mind numbing routine of life. You wake up early against your will, you go to work for twenty times less then your worth then go home, eat dinner, watch T.V, then go to bed. Find a Hill. If you do this tonight then let this be a turning point in your life. Every time you run up that hill I want you to imagine a barrier, a barrier that's stopping you obtain what you really want from life. Let the Hill Assault be a metaphor for tackling this barrier. Sprint. Sprint up that hill as though your life depends on it and when you reach the summit, drag what ever strength remains and complete ten push ups. In the morning face that barrier and tackle it, know that it wont be easy, know that you may not overcome it, but tackle that problem with the determination you tackled those hills. Never give up. Draw on the strength you found within yourself to complete the push ups, never surrender, on your death bed know, you gave this life all you had. Have no regrets. When you see deaths cold and unforgiving smile, smile back and laugh....Run up that hill. Sprint, Push, Go home and know you completed these hill assaults on an impulse, a dare, and from now on, tackle every hill with heart. Below is a video of my friend running 40k in 40cm of water with 40k of weight. Enjoy.
