13.1...Finally

http://www.mapmyfitness.com/routes/fullscreen/56335268/

Just wanted to post a map of my run last night. I ran 13.1 which is the equivalent of a half marathon. I had no intent of doing it, but after I did the first 5 miles, I decided to go for it. I finished in a time of 2:31:01 which gave me a pace of 11:31/mile. Now this was major for me, and I understand that there are many people who can do a complete marathon in less time...and God Bless You for it. I just want to motivate and encourage those who think they cannot move. The only limitations we have in life is what we place on ourselves. As long as we keep telling ourselves we cannot, then we won't. We must always believe we can. It is said that we can live 2 minutes without air, 2 days without water, and 2 weeks without food, but cannot go 2 seconds without hope/faith/confidence. I challenge you all to keep moving. Five minutes 6 times a day will give you 30 minutes of exercise. Walking/running is not only easy, but it is free. It is as simple as puttingone feet n front of the other and moving the hip muscles. There is even a category for paraplegics to compete in marathons, so I don't want to hear that excuse about you being in a wheelchair. I don't expect you to go 13.1, but I know you can do 0.1 for now. Then next week, go for 0.2. By next year this time, you will be much further along. If this old guy can do it, anyone should be able to do it. In the words of my good friend Roe, Keep Moving Forward My Friends....
