Running Man...

More than 99 percent of the population will never run a marathon in their lifetime. I am a bona fide member of that 99 percent. Hubby, however, has secured his membership in the elite "less than 1 percent". Today, he completed his fourth marathon after running the National Capital Marathon. Although the race didn't go quite as he'd hoped, he still succeeded in posting a personal best (or a "p.b.", as they say in runners' lingo). To me, the fact that he finished the race at all is worth celebrating, as is the discipline & dedication he has shown throughout his training. Needless to say, I'm very proud.

The fact that started to run one day and then did it AGAIN! despite whatever pain in the muscles.. a model to all of us that once again.. 'no pain, no gain'- or 'the run in a marathon begins with the first step'- from the germ of an idea that he'd try running I bet did not necessarily think he'd be running marathons.. try something new.. you might not be good at it at first.. but you never know!! Thanks for the evidence
