Running to Boston
All right, all you "new year resolution"-ers out there, this post has, literally, been 3 years in the making. This time of year brings a strong desire to look back on the past year and take stock of what we have accomplished and look forward to what we would like to do in the coming months. Too frequently our look back makes us want to crawl back into bed with a whipping stick to make ourselves pay in silence for all that we promised ourselves we would do, but didn't. And the look forward fuels a nation wide workout frenzy born straight from guilt and self loathing. BOO TO ALL OF THAT! All a new year means is a fresh start. No guilt, no shame. The post you are about to read is not meant to do anything except MOTIVATE YOU! It doesn't have to motivate you to run or bike or even work out. It is meant to motivate you to step out of your comfort zone, experience something new and difficult and when its done, look at yourself in the mirror and know that YOU will not hold YOU back.
In that spirit I am pleased to introduce our next guest blogger, my twin (yes identical), Sharma Phillips (she's beautiful, isn't she). She graciously agreed to share her experience of accomplishing a long time goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. I want to give a special thanks to her for taking the time to share her story with us. She is one amazing lady, and I know you will be inspired by her story just like I was. Click here to read her story or click on "Guest Blogger" at the top of the blog.
