Here's my first contribution to the Take It and Run Thursday (TIaRT) at Runner's Lounge! I think TIaRT is such a great idea!!
Today's theme is to share "How to Conquer the Marathon in 26 words (or less)" Mines more like 26.8 words of insight rather than advice:
Crossing that finish line at 26.2 miles shows the passion and commitment to running, overwhelming tenacity to achieve success. Completing it gives a high like no other!
I asked my husband, too and his immediate response was:
A grueling testament to one's will, discipline, stamina, perseverance and insanity. But once completed, the most satisfying sense of accomplishment experienced by a mere mortal.
He's a bit of a drama queen. Hehe.
This was fun!
Another day of resting my Achilles tendon...
great words from both of you!!! enjoy your rest :) try to at least!
ReplyDeleteThats great that you and your husband came up with your own words!

Oh, I really like both words. Both very true. Glad your not pushing the achilles.
ReplyDeleteVery nice from both of you ;D ;D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest day ;-)
Glad you are resting! and that is neat that thing with runner's lounge. Maybe if it was summer again and I made time for that stuff!! I should get into that. Feel better, achilles!
ReplyDeleteYou both said similar things in unique ways. I agree with your perspective.
ReplyDeleteI like your husband's use of the word "insanity." At times I was really questioning my sanity when trying to juggle everything in my life AND find time for long runs!
Great post, I was going to try to participate in the TIART this week, but I lacked creativity today. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog...just wanted to let you know that the bear is NOT real! :-) They had a lot of fun in the weeks leading up to Reach the Beach trying to scare me about the bears...
ReplyDeleteLove it!
