Fitness Fundas: Is Life a Marathon?
The Big Picture Comes from Little Things
We read about people who have had endless trouble in their lives and saw it through. People who strived for fitness, had a fall, and rose again. They didn’t win because they achieved every one of their goals. They won because they kept their heart’s desire alive and did what it takes, day after day.
Life Is the Real Marathon
Life is like a marathon — we cannot run the entire distance at a stretch. But we will still continue taking steps towards the finish line. And in doing so, each and every one of us is a real winner.
The longer your journey turns out to be, the more memories you will make. In the beginning, it looks like a long, winding road full of obstacles, distractions, noise, and your own fears. Spend no time worrying about when you will reach your fitness goals. Invest all your available time in building strength, flexibility, and the right skills — and cross that seemingly long road in a single leap.
“I am no longer worried if I will complete the next 10K run or find myself breathless at the end. I know all of us will have a huge smile on our faces and promise to come back stronger. After all, we all know what matters the most — hope — for a better run next time.”
