So the first step I'm taking on my thousand-day challenge is setting a killer goal. By "killer" I mean a goal that inspires the best in me, something that will fill me with fire and motivate me when the going gets tough. Not "killer" as in, "Oh, God I'm gonna die if I try this". I hope.
So, what do I want to do in two years and nine months? Nothing less than run the qualifier for American Ninja Warrior. If you haven't been watching this show, you're missing out. It's amateur and professional athletes from all over the world competing in on the most difficult obstacle course in the world. What's awesome is not just that the course chews up pros from the NFL, and NBA, not just that it chew up Olympic medalists, but that some of the best competitors are the middle aged, men and women recovering from debilitating accidents, amputees, type one diabetics, and people whose backgrounds aren't that different from anybody else. It's truly inspiring to see people tackle that course who, by conventional thinking, have no business being in such an intense sport.
I wanna be one of those people. That's my big, 1000-day goal. Whatever happens, I want to face that course and give it my all. I want to hit the buzzer at the top of the 14-foot tall warped wall. Just once. Just to say I did it.
Do any of you have a big fitness goal? Or maybe just well wishes? Share in the comments section - I'd love to hear from you.

| No, I'm not kidding. |

| Yes, that warped wall. |
