inspiration Who or What Inspires YOU?

Team in Training logo Who or What Inspires YOU?pat tillman Who or What Inspires YOU?

Today I want to share with you what some of my clients have shared with me when I asked what inspires them (i did get permission to share this info).  I was blown away by the emails I received and thank you for sharing.  So much of what I read was a good reminder to appreciate and be grateful everyday!   Furthermore, reading the emails reminded me this marathon training aint so bad afterall.

If running and training for a marathon is the hardest challenge I have to face in life, then I’ll take it!

PLEASE feel free to share your own story or share who it is that inspires you.  What inspires you may also inspire others, so please share if you desire.  For many of us currently in marathon training this is good timing as it can provide an extra boost of inspiration to get out the door and run.

vent Stop Killing Yourself!

WARNING: I gotta vent today!  Leave a comment below with your thoughts/comments

It REALLY, really bothers me when I witness people getting into an elevator only to go up ONE floor.

It REALLY drives me nuts when I witness people driving cars an extra 5 minutes in the parking lot to find the closest spot.

It REALLY frustrates me I can’t find anything healthy to eat at an airport.
