Motivational this and that's...these keep me going!

The title is: Keep Going, the Art of Perseverance, by Joseph M. Marshall III

Check out this video of her running 300 miles for orphans!

"Being strong means taking one more step toward the top of the hill, no matter how weary you may be. It means letting the tears flow through the grief. It means to keep looking for the answer, though the darkness of despair is all around you. Being strong means to cling to hope for one more heartbeat, one more sunrise. Each step, no matter how difficult, is one more step closer to the top of the hill. To keep hope alive for one more heartbeat at a time leads to the light of the next sunrise, and the promise of a new day." This quote came off of Lisa Smith-Batchhens blog page...this woman is an inspiration for me, she runs the Badwater ultamarathon and several others....

Random Thoughts While Running

I was running along today(2-22-09) at my 64th mile for this week (yes, this sounds like a lot, but in the running world it is the middle of the road) and a hazy thought came to me. I decided it would be a good idea to write down the random (and profound...HA) things that come to my mind. So, here they are and I will add to these each time I have a RANDOM thought while running.
