Struggle Strengthens

Sometimes I don't get it, but I embrace it. With running, ur, in life, one of the greatest tools to strengthen is struggle. When powering through a run, when you are struggling, to continue to move forward is strengthening your resolve and your resilience.

As many of you are approaching the start of your first marathon, embracing this principle will give you an arsenal against every thing that is thrown at you. When your legs fatigue, your fuel fades, and your mind wobbles, you are being made stronger.



"Struggle is nature's way of strengthening."

Today, embrace the struggle. Find strength in the fight. Never go into a race wondering if you are going to finish.

You are.
You will.
You have.

Not A Runner? Think Again.


This is the type of story that drives me. Sherene Gruver.
Last summer, Thursdays started early. I met her and her friends at 4:30 AM for interval training. We ran repeats to help strengthen her cardio.

In December, she ran the CIM and finished.

Read of her amazing story.
