It’s what makes KTC a haven of quit for me but it seems to get lost with the revolving door of cavers taking a dump on this site and on all of us each time they have a “F-it” moment.

After hitting the Hall last April, I was challenged to write out another goal that required a physical and mental component, like a dumbass that challenge was the Dallas Marathon.   Last Sunday I finished my first marathon and believe me, it was not pretty.  There are similarities in running a race like that and quit – both take a very long time, requite mental toughness, dedication and they both hurt like a mother . 

During what seemed to be the longest day on earth for me I had battle the urge not quit running repeatedly. 

There were friends, family and other runners who had already finished the course that were cheering as I rounded the final turn and headed for the finish line.

After finishing the race this past Sunday, I was exhausted mentally and physically and said I wouldnÂ’t put myself through that torture again.

Today is the following Thursday and I am committing myself to another marathon in April. 

The biggest difference between running and our quitÂ… in the race, there is a finish line and when you cross it they give you medal and a shirt that says FINISHER on it.

I want my quit to say FINISHER!!!
:wub:
congratulations on finishing one marathon and committing to another!.
That running bug can bite real hard, I have seen it happen to several people.
Not me thankfully, but other people.
How about a shirt that says Daily Finisher?

proud to quit with you and congrats

Bruce....the Johnny Football of KTC.
His stats are pretty impressive:

4.2 sec CTF time (couch to fridge)
Effective with both Right and Left hands
HeÂ’s Ginger through and through
Plays on both sides of the ball
Plays with both teams
Plays multiple positions
Multisport (both a pitcher and catcher - prefers catching though)
Perfect blend of attractiveness and athleticism - especially in full body compression suit.


And yeah, hijacking birdÂ’s thread seems to be the perfect place to post this....

As Coach Steve writes, ‘my vigor is upÂ’!  To all you asshats who think they need to rewrite the book of quit Â… think again.  For the umpteenth time, KTC is about BROTHERHOOD, ACCOUNTABILITY  SUCCESS. 

What actions are required?

Posting Roll Daily
Keeping Said Promise
Repeating Tomorrow

Quit is not a sprint, it’s the longest freakin race of your lifetime but it’s made easier by focusing on a 24 hour window.  Kind of like the marathon I am attempting on Dec 9th.  Can I run full on for 26.2 miles...probably not but can I run for 2 minutes and walk for 1, my training says I can and I will.

Post roll every day, help as many people along the way but to your own quit be true.  Shakespeare, I am not but the point is you must protect your own quit and make it THE priority.  Oddly, others will see that example and want to emulate.

PS - It's not about you so stop reading the 'news articles' -

ITS ABOUT THE QUIT
VLF!!!!
Haha. Vigor Like Fuck.

To add to what Cbird is saying, it really chaps my ass to see people forget or ignore what helped them quit in the first place. If an alcoholic gets sober by going to AA meetings, stops going and then starts drinking again, where do you think the alcoholic goes to get sober again? If the person with depression goes to the therapist and starts taking meds to help the depression, then stops taking meds and stops going to the therapist, when the depression returns, where does that person go to get help again? Why is it not the same with KTC for some people? Drama you say? Please spare me your BS explanation.

I don't agree with everything said on this website nor do I have to. I don't like everyone on this website, nor do I have to. All I have to do is follow the simple recipe that Cbird has identified. If I do that, I know I'll stay quit.

p.s. Apologies to Cbird if this rant is redundant, I seem to have an issue with that (just ask J2B)
Redundant Like Fuck

Sorry, had to. Just so you know all three of you have received my votes for KTC Heisman this year... :Winner:
