Hello all!!!

I have been sitting on a fence for the past few years of my life. I don't know if it was fear or embarrassment, but something internally has kept me from growing and reaching my potential. I have great talks with people and I "hear" them but I do not "listen." Today I have made the decision that I need to go back to Ohio and this is where I will chase my dream and where I will write this next chapter.

I have been going all over the country for the past 6 years following this "dream." I have had near successes, but never really gave it my all. I was always getting pulled mentally and emotionally. This is my last shot to show the US and the world what I am made of. I need to go back to the basic living. I have a great support system in Cleveland and I am grateful to the city. It is time for me to finish school and sell out training.

I had a great talk with Justin Gatlin yesterday. He has always been there for me and has been a great man to talk to. After I hung up the phone I knew what I had to do. I need to swallow all my pride and just own up to what I need to do and attack it the way I would attack one of my races. No more doubt, no more being passive.

The kind words and comments about my blog has really got to me. It is time to stop "half-assing" life. Today is a planning day with the "Guru" and we set up the blueprint for success. Not an easy road, but nothing worth doing is easy. God bless everyone and thank you! CHEERS
