Impeccability means, 'without sin'. It comes from the Latin pecatus, which means 'sin'... Religions talk about sin and sinners, but let's try to understand what it really means to sin. A sin is anything that you do which goes against you self.
Everything you feel or believe or say that goes against you is a sin. You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything. Being without sin is exactly the opposite.
Being impeccable is not going against yourself for anything. When you are impeccable you take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.
From this point of view, the whole concept changes from something moral or religious to something commonsense. Sin begins with rejection of yourself. Self rejection is the biggest sin you commit. In religious terms self-rejection is a mortal sin, which leads to death. Impeccability, on the other hand, leads to life.

I post this because I want people to realize that they can do anything they put their mind to. I want people to be impeccable with their word. I want people to say that they are going to do something and do it.
If you say that you can complete the Tough Mudder, you will. Do not let people poison your mind by telling you that you are crazy for making a decision to do something that is going to test your willpower and spirit. They are projecting their lack of confidence in themselves. There is nothing crazy about making a decision to do something difficult and going after it. The people that are crazy are the ones who play everything safe and don't go after what they want in life.
For those that are joining the team, I think that you are all amazing. I look forward to doing everything in my power to help you prepare for the race. I look forward to seeing the sense of accomplishment on every one's faces after the finish the race.
Believe in yourselves. Be impeccable.
