Monday Motivation

I don't even know where to begin to say how inspiring it was to watch all the ladies running the ZOOMA Cape Cod Half Marathon and 10k this Saturday!!  Just so many digging deep and rising to the challenge!  My sister rocked it and finished her first 10k 15 minutes faster than she had ever run it!  I'm so proud of her!!! 
One thing about ZOOMA races is that they have amazing signs along the routes that have inspiring quotes.  After talking with a few friends after the half marathon, one of them mentioned seeing this sign,
and how it inspired her to finish what she had started!  How many of us have reached the end of our rope?  Injury getting in your way...weight not coming off as fast as you thought...training not as easy as it should be...looking at giving up?
Well....
TIE A KNOT!  HANG ON!!  YOU'RE JOURNEY IS NOT OVER!!!

    Great quote! My 2nd half marathon was Zooma Annapolis in 2009. I remember those signs. Around mile 12 there was the sign: Pain is temporary, pride is forever. It stuck in my head since then!
