Keep On Running

On This Day In History
1897: First Boston Marathon held

Quote Of The Day
"If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon."
(Katherine Switzer)

Katherine Switzer is right. Marathon races really do bring out the best in people. That special commitment to achieve to what many consider an impossible challenge. To run through pain to cross the line when your body is screaming for you to stop. And then all the supporters standing along the roads cheering for four to six hours, and the volunteers providing nourishment, first aid and entertainment.

It's a magical experience.

Similarly, if you are ever feeling low about yourself, as a marathon runner you can always remind yourself that you are one of the only 0.15% of the world's population that has ever run a marathon.

Go run a marathon.
