Stepping up on the starting line is an accomplishment within itself. Doing it while being healthy is another. This Sunday, May 6, thousands of runners will be lining up to begin to conquer their fears and doubts.
- 10 km (6.2 mi)
- 13.1 mi
- 26.2 mi
These are the distances they will run. But this race isn't about those miles. It is about each individual pushing their limits. An overweight/obese guy who never walked is now running 10 km to show himself and everybody else he can do it. Mothers that spend so much time working, taking care of their kids and husbands are doing this to prove that they are not just moms, but grinders. What about that kid who is trying to outrun his fears of failure. They are stepping up, not because its fun or cool, but because they found something bigger than themselves. Its called believing. They can see it...... feel it. This feeling is beyond the pain you feel in your legs while running or the burning of your lungs at the last mile. Makes you drop that quadruple bacon extra cheese cheeseburger and french fries. Rise and shine! It's only 5:30 am on a saturday morning and you are up.
Believing Drives YOU
All of your training has peaked for this event. Its time to just relax, enjoy the scene, and be humble. Meditate and think about all those hard training sessions you accomplished, those early morning runs, what about those late night runs, the food you avoided to stay away from Mrs.Muffin Top and her husband body fat, the food you ate to avoid muscle inflammation. Be confident in your training and in your body. More important of it all, Believe in yourself in totality. Believe in your feet, legs, body, mind, spirit, training, family, and anything else you can think of. That is THE day. No turning back! Just breathe. You got this.....just believe.
