Rewarded with mud

Over the last year some major change has happened around the Kiefer house. Life transition comes to us all. Sometimes it is rewarding and other times it is painful. Then you have those times that the pain opens the door to great reward.

There have been a few of those times in our home, but today that reward came as Mr. Kiefer finished the Tough Mudder.  He used to eat ice cream while I worked out and vowed he would never be caught running, but a little change got a hold of him and brought forth some BIG results. It started as outward motivation from me, but the journey carried until he is now self motivated and many days seems to be carrying me along!

There were days that the training got intense and emotions flared.  It was painful at times, but watching as Mr. Kiefer completed every obstacle and enjoyed the experience made for a great reward. It stretches farther than the physical. The determination, goal orientation, and success has carried over to every area of life and that is a great reward.

Get moving today! There may be a great reward waiting.
