Living with chronic illness you learn alot about endurance and managing the pain and doing the impossible. I live with chronic illness and I know what endurance is. So, when I first received Iron Hope by James Lawrence I was not that inspired to read it. How can a man who is relatively healthy know what endurance is and know what the impossible takes? I realize he does, but in a different format than I do. For me, I am not going to get over my medical issues in 100 days. I am not going to swim, bike, run, climb mountains and endure the pain all those activities take in 100 days. Although we are different, I do appreciate his approach and recommendations in this book. He has some great thoughts and teaching moments. I still think we are talking about two different types of endurance, but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating his approach and insight. He did accomplish an amazing feat. I will not take that away from him. One chapter in his book that I appreciated was chapter 18 The Priority of Recovery.
If you are an athlete or want to become one this is a good book to dive into and be inspired by. If you would like to purchase your own copy:
