"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." -John Bingham
Only 48 hours after my marathon I buckled under pressure...LOL!!! I signed up for GOOFY next year. I thought, "hey why not." I ran 26 why not do 13 the day before...hmmm...even as I write that I think how crazy it sounds. So my challenge to all my friends...why not run the 1/2 marathon on Saturday with me. That gives you 1 year to train. It is SO possible to each and every person. Whether you run, walk, jog or waddle...you can make it!!! It is just so amazing how our bodies are made. The pain I felt on Sunday is so far forgotten. I can walk without hurting and plan on trying a little walk jog tomorrow. Anyways, thank you again for all the support and prayers. Just think, next year Disney can be Magical for you too!!!!
Some great quotes to motivate you!!!!!
"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
My motivation for Goofy:
"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about." -PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian
