All endeavor calls for the ability
to tramp the last mile,
shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil.
The fight to the finish spirit is the one…
characteristic we must posses
if we are to face the future as finishers.
– Henry David Thoreau

My Thoughts: 

I feel like running a marathon now and winning first place. I want to finish the race with complete strength and power that I am the greatest ever to compete in the race. Of course, it is just a dream, however it cannot be. I mean how hard is it to join the marathon? You just sign up for it and that’s it. Sure, it is hard to win the race, but I don’t think it’s about winning the race. I think it is just about doing something with your life and competing. It is about what you are thinking when you are in that race.

Get Smarter

Most people are just walking or doing slow jogs just enjoying being part of the marathon. Just by signing up you are helping many organizations and charities as well. Well, it depends which marathon you sign up, but most are helping charities and organizations. Every time I’m in the marathon, I feel like I’m getting smarter. I end up thinking of stuff that I have not thought before. Just the mindset alone is enough for me to feel good about joining the marathon.

Join It

If you have never joined it, I suggest joining it. Well, at least one time try it out as you have nothing to lose. Next thing you know, you are signing up every year for it. Remember, it is not about winning first place, it is about your own paste. There is no losing, and everyone is a winner at the end.
