Got the book Monday. Turnaround time was 6 business days.

I started reading it today. I'm through Chapter One and am getting very excited about it.

Couple of inspiring points for me had to do with running and trying.

In Ch. 1 it mentions that (essentially) rucking is more important than running a 6 minute mile. That's very encouraging to me as running is not my strongpoint. I know I'll need to do it well, but I've been stressing over times a bit lately.

Also, I've always been a stickler about making accurate statements. Try has been part of my vocabulary mostly because I don't like to say I'll do something if there's a chance of failure.

Of course I can here Yoda in the background saying "Do or do not; there is no try."

I like "do my best" much better.

I found the three phase (Green, Amber, Red) peacetime mission very interesting as well.

That's it so far. Will post back with more as I get through it.

Regards,
Aric
