More From Tucker...

"Eric and his wife Luila are great friends of mine and we love them. Eric is not only a great trainer and warrior, but he and Lu are awesome people. I laid witness, as did others, to the heart and soul this couple share at the Hell's Half Acre qualifier. What a great story Eric has here within the article section of Jon Gilson and http://www.againfaster.com/ "

From Tucker...

Captured in this scenic tranquil run is Amanda Barelli, of Seattle, a trainer at NWCrossFit. The photograph reminded me of a saying that I have used all my life. "It's not where you've been, but rather where you are going that matters."

So, where are you going, what are you chasing, how will you get there? Whether you crawl, walk, run, or drag yourself to the ultimate goal at the end of your choosing, simply committing yourself to that purposeful first step is all important. The next part of your journey will fall into place as the trail ahead of you opens itself to the twists and turns of daily life. We find out so much about ourselves once we commit to that all important first step, a defining moment indeed; an important moment of self discovery.

Choose that first step, push yourself, no matter what the goal is that you set keep moving forward; don't let the list of excuses rob you of a desired and deserved sweet victory at the end of your race. And once you complete that first goal, it is time to set another. All of us will get plenty of rest and sleep in the afterlife, so keep moving forward.
As ole Granddaddy Lee Roy Tucker used say, “it ain’t where you been, it’s where yur going that counts”.

From Tucker...

"I will never again doubt the existence of a higher power or a divine plan...includes such recipes as sauteed foie gras with gingered vanilla quince, brown butter ice cream and bacon mayonaise (when I have been looking for a life changing mayo recipe), and consists of the chapters titled: "Butter", "Pork Fat", "Poultry Fat", and "Beef and Lamb Fats"...for me, by far, the most pornographic thing that I have ever owned."
