One of our team members used to be a marathon runner. She told me that originally the marathon distance was measured at 26 miles. Today, a marathon is 26.2 miles. Why the .2 additional miles? <br /><br />Well, she explained that marathon runners today run an extra 0.2 miles so they can run past a cheering crowd of fans towards the finish line! How's that for the extra push a runner needs after 26 miles? Too cool! <br /><br />Bless all those running for such an incredible cause! Inspiring! <br /><br />Many Blessings....<br />Roxanne and Hugo ~ Believe AchieveBelieve Achieve - Hugo and Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410323217936995092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-13545576190372482302009-04-26T20:12:00.000+01:002009-04-26T20:12:00.000+01:00Hi Liara .. thanks for that comment to 'our discus...Hi Liara .. thanks for that comment to 'our discussion' ..

These people believe they are meant to feel drained, challenged, and to generate negative energy. Another perspective is that the mind determines how you view a given situation. That is, you have conscious choices to focus on things like the throbbing feet beneath you, how thirsty you are, how far you have yet to go is uncertain or, the choice to realize how far you have come already, how much you have accomplished and learned and the fact you cross the finish line. IN truth, every person is only ever competing with the self. You are your own judge and jury. You can be hard on yourself or kind and loving. What is important is how you handle what is happening, not the events unfolding themselves.Liara Coverthttp://blog.dreambuilders.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-61560299925769395812009-04-26T17:00:00.000+01:002009-04-26T17:00:00.000+01:00Love the marathon idea.
