Good morning Mr. Jason, I wanted to share something with you. I started training and been working out at the gym. I’ve been running 2 miles a day and doing some martial arts. There are some days where the 2 miles becomes very difficult for me mentally. I kid you not, but it has gotten to the point that who I remember Carson to be and my interactions with him. Back in high school I would always do my best to pace off of Carson. Even though I wouldn’t last long, I’d always give it my best shot to pace off of Carson. He would make me a better athlete, better as a runner and a better me as a person. My goal was always to pace off of him. So now, I’m not kidding when I say it has gotten to a point when I get to my weak point on the treadmill or wherever I am, but I literally look to my right and I imagine him running, being there, showing no pain and being there kicking ass and just killing it. So once I visualize that…. I go ok he is there I can do it!! I keep going, if he is there I know I can keep a good pace and keep going. Legitimately it is what helps me get through those two miles. I’m being so for real when I say this . I’ve been wanting to call you or send you this message. Like I said I think about Carson everyday and wear the wristband. I think of you guys everyday.
