Sport Motivations

There is so much negativity in the news and everywhere you look.  It is sad, but so uplifting to see someone like Zach.  Thanks for posting!

"You don't have to find out you're dying to start living" - that's powerful

Thank you for posting.

"It doesn't matter if I'm themy

Haven't posted here in far too long...  So thought posting one of my five new goals for this month to this thread would be a good reboot to that!

3. Go on a minimum of one fun fitness outing with friends this month (be it tubing, kayaking, bike t...

Great story and trully inspirational for beginner runners like me....time to put the doubts behind and power through!  Thanks for sharing your experiences. :)

A marathon in 2014 is starting to look less frightening. :)

Brilliant Sheri!!!!!! Great story!!!! :-D

Wow, they are just amazing aren't they! The mother is over 70!

I love, love, love you!!!  This is the best story ever :)

Looking for motivation, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.  It seems every moment is a challenge sometimes to do what I need to do.  I know I need to be healthy&fit for my job (I'm in the military, so keeping my job can depend on my weigh...

Great Video!

Need motivation? Watch this mom/daughter team...the daughter is over 40.

This is a great story and well done = )

I think about how I almost let a relative talk me into getting gastric bypass sometimes. Had I done so, I would still be healing. I would have missed out on all these wonderful experiences! There are so many new friends that I have made since beco...

Very inspiring story!!!  You rock!!!

The runner community is nothing short of amazing. I find faith in humanity at every race.

My new mantra is “I love hills” I repeat this as soon as I see the hill I’m about to run up. It took two running sessions and I still feel the burn of the hill but it makes it so much easier to face. My advice is to try it. Two thums up

Thank you for posting this story! I never broke through 8km when I used to run and I had all kinds of excuses...then I stood at the finish line for a local half-marathon and watched men and women with all sorts of body-types cross that finish line...

I love reading your stories.  Congrats on completing the Spartan!  My husband wants me to do the Tough Mudder in November with him, but my aversion to electricity has stopped me.  Getting eletrocuted just doesn't sound fun to me.  I would love to...

Great story Sheri. I'm putting all the guys who work for me through a Spartan later in the year. Hopefully they too will benefit from the camraderies and achievement.

You story really touched me Sheri :) You are a total warrior! Our minds play us tricks and we compare ourselves way too much with the others, in a negative way instead of taking the positive side of it! Congrats on your achievement, you totally ro...

Hi Sheri, you are a constant inspiration to us all, no matter what stage we are at in our training. It is heartwarming to hear of the team spirit and camaraderie you encountered in your event (particularly after recent events in t...

That post brought a lump to my throat for two reasons, one because you pushed though and did the Sparten and achieved your dream unwittingly an amazing achievement, and because of how great runners are, supporting and helping each other. Thank you...

This actually happened in March. I sometimes need time to ponder things, and by the time I was done pondering, the Boston attacks happened and I was too angry to write about it.

There were two races in the same town and I was interested in both....

I agree 100% with you Heather! I HATE running in snow, even more so when said snow is slushy and you are running up a mountain trail that lasts 30 min!!!! (LOL)  Last time on that particular run, I tried to have fun instead (there was snow and rea...

You've got a personal trainer Heather? Lucky you!!!!!
