As we prepare for the Murph Challenge this Saturday at 10:00am, I wanted to share some strategies with you.

It doesn't matter which option you choose. It only matters that you give it your best effort.

Mike deserves nothing less.

Here’s an excerpt from "A Debt That Cannot Be Repaid" written by Andy Stumpf.

"I’m sorry that you have never smelled the breath of a man who wants to kill you. I'm sorry that you have never felt the alarm bells ringing in your body, the combination of fear and adrenaline, as you move towards the fight, instead of running from it. I'm sorry you have never heard someone cry out for help, or cried out for help yourself, relying on the courage of others to bring you home. I'm sorry you have never tasted the salt from your own tears, as you stand at flag draped coffins, burying men you were humbled to call your friends. I don’t wish those experiences on you, but I do wish you had them. It would change the way you act, it would change the way you value, it would change the way you appreciate. You'd become quick to open your eyes, and slow to open your mouth."

So, today and every day until the end of your days, think about this;

There’s a certain confidence that only exists behind a keyboard, in the comment section, or inside the safety of a controlled training environment.

It’s easy to critique the decisions, actions, or performance of men and women who have actually stepped into uncertainty, risk, violence, chaos, or consequence — especially when you never had to carry the weight yourself.

Training matters. Standards matter. Accountability matters.

But perspective matters more.

Some people speak from experience earned the hard way. Others speak from comfort disguised as expertise.

Before criticizing those who have gone into harm’s way or who were willing to put themselves out there, ask yourself a simple question:

“What have I personally risked?”

Because there’s a difference between studying the storm and standing in it.

That is all.
