I can't believe I just signed up for my 4th Full Marathon. I know people think I am crazy but this is who I am. I live for moments like this!!!! Moments when I feel like I could possible die but I find it in me to keep going. OKAY.....Maybe that is a little strange but racing makes me believe that anything is possible. I am sure others can find that same drive and motivation in other things in life but this is where I find mine.
Just a few years ago running a marathon was on my bucket list. I honestly didn't think I had it in me to complete 26.2 miles. Heck, I use to believe that driving 26.2 miles took a long time. Then something changed inside me; I knew that if I wanted to check things off on my bucket list I had to start working towards them. My desire to make my dreams come true became my burning motivation in me. That is what keeps my drive and dedication alive...accomplishing the impossible.
I know it is so hard to believe in something that seems so impossible to reach but I am telling you NOTHING is out of reach. If you want to walk a race, run a race, learn to surf, learn to be the best at something... YOU can do it! You first just have to believe and find something in you to keep you going. That fire in your soul...
My race list keeps getting bigger and bigger this year...I think I might have to tell 2013 that I can't afford another race :)
