Yes, I Gotta Keep Going!

When I saw this photo on FACEBOOK, I thought, "WOW" that pretty much sums up the way I view my life! Between my husband, kids, workouts, work and just everyday life, it is hard to slow down and take it easy.  I know you have heard this a thousand times but life really is a marathon that never really ends.  You think you are coming to the finish line and someone keeps moving it! You see it, strive for it and sometimes sprint yet, suddenly it's gone!. . .What? What just happened! Yeah, that's not cool.

Well, just like running you have to train yourself to run the best race of your life knowing that there may be glitches along the way.  It's all about how you will react, stay on pace and move through the race.  Everyone has a lot going on and it may not be identical to what you are going through, but "their stuff/their race" is just as important to them as it is for you.  

When running or in any sport, competition is good, if it's healthy.  Having a partner to run with in the race is fantastic, if they are supportive but at the end of the day, it's how YOU react, it's how YOU run YOUR race.  Just because you are tired, there are others who depend on you.  Good people who look forward to seeing you everyday! They like to watch you race and keep a nice, steady pace.  

So, I am hear to say, don't stop because you are tired.  You are motivating someone else, helping them and supporting them in ways you never knew were possible.  Keep running and don't stop until you are done. . .completely!
