The marathon signifies so many things to me - perseverence, dedication,
development, pushing yourself to your limits and beyond, attitude, focus, and
more. People ask me how I can do it, year after year. How can I do
all the training that is required, especially with a young family. How can
I run 4 hours straight. How can I be excited about getting out an running
in the rain in the early morning. How can I…
The simple answer is that I can’t do any of that - what I can do is be
someone who takes one step and then another and then another. It’s not
about running 26.2 miles - it’s about running up to the next corner, or taking
the next step - pushing myself to do just one more because I know I can.
Small and simple is the way you do a marathon. As the old Chinese proverb
goes - the journey of a thousand miles begins with one first step. The
same is true with a marathon.
The key for you, my dear reader, is to relate the marathon to
yourself. What is your marathon? Is it your
business?
Enjoy.
