Recently, lots of my friends on Facebook started posting these images that contained quotes and sayings. Many were funny, some were motivational and others were in the "WTF" category. I wasn't sure I liked it...ok, ok, honestly it bothered the CRAP out of me. But then I came across this one (I had just committed to running my 1st 5K and was struggling to get past the 1 mile mark without feeling like I was going to puke):
Now, at first I was irritated by this "runner" in the picture, but the words struck a chord with me. Why am I giving up so early on? I haven't puked...yet. I need to keep going. So the very next day I paced myself a bit better and broke through that wall. I've been dominating my 2.09 mile route since that day (and finished my 1st 5K)!
So I started scouring Google for other running motivational quotes that made me smile and lit that fire under my ass to keep going. These are fuel "For My Soul" so I want a space to share them with the people in my life (that way, if others like me find the barrage of motivational posters/pics on Facebook highly annoying, they'll have to come here to get motivation).
Here are a few I found today that I really liked:
I'll try to share more as I come across them. Be forewarned, some may make their way onto Facebook still, those are the ones I REALLY love!
