Something has happened in my life recently that has made me ever the more determined to dedicate myself. My biggest flaw is that I don't train often enough. I don't condition nearly as much as I should, and I need to step that up. Severely. In the real world, strength means shit. But in that off chance where it's necessary, where it's useful... I need to know I can keep up. Right now, I'm the furthest thing from it. That needs to change. I need to be able to protect the ones I care about. The ones I love.

I will remember my failure last night every day. Chant it to myself over and over. And I can only hope that allows me to train harder and harder. I cannot allow myself to become as complacent as I have. This is unacceptable.
