Great quote



I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought.

Arthur Blank, co-founder of The Home Depot 

I receive this email every morning from Runners World www.runnersworld.com.  The Daily Kick In The Butt are always running quotes.  I especially liked this one.

When I decided to run the Goodlife Toronto Marathon 5 years ago, I was not running enough to even make it onto a running chart to help with scheduling/planning to run a marathon.  I had to create a chart just so that I could get on the training chart.  I accomplished my goal and ran the whole 42 km.  I would never have guessed that I had it in me.  The dedication, the planning, the work, and the success was all mine (of course with a great team of family and friends helping me).  What else can I do that I don't know that I can?
