My First Marathon
My first marathon took place at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It was the coldest day of the year; 16 degrees out as I stood on the starting line. My body was numb and freezing the whole entire race, but I did awesome and was only 20 minutes off from being a Boston qualifier. From that day forward, I knew I wanted to run marathons for the rest of my life.
Running Motivational Video
Since I am a runner and run marathons in my spare time, I figured I should post a blog with an inspirational video about running. Maybe even you will become a runner?
Words of Wisdom From Marilyn Monroe
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them."
"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."
"You never know what life is like, until you have lived it."
"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
