David Goggins Book “Never Finished” is just what I needed. Here I am a year after a “pause” still in a pause. Sometimes I still go for my loop at Silver Lake and only have energy to walk. Transitioning into retirement I am hoping will revitalize me. Need to get a coach. Need a goal I care about.

2024 Scary Goal: Nobusiness 100. 102 miles, 14,500′ elevation, 33 hrs

It is meaningful because my sister lives there/works there and will be a part of my crew.

Extra challenging because of my starting state. 30lbs overweight. Burnt out. Extra slow.

Takeaways from Goggins Book, which I loved more than his first.

• Greatness is in the valiance of the attempt
• Fight for each second. In the grip of life and danger of losing it, take a knee.
• Don’t look/care about false summits – the end will come when it comes. The struggle is the journey. Keep your head down and hammer away. Act like you’re nowhere near the top.
• Continued growth only comes when you are willing to be humble.
• You must perform WITHOUT purpose
• Stand for something. Mission: Become uncommong amongst uncommon. I don’t stop when tired,I stop when done.
• I am Laura Kozel. I exist; therefore, I complete what I start. I take pride in my effort and performance. If I’m lost, I will find myself. I will not half ass it. Anywhere I lack, I will improve because I exist and am willing.
