I've been pretty upfront about my discounting of using social media as a tool for simply re-posting stuff. So, as the Joker said to Batman (yes, I'm a closet Batman fanatic - some of you may know this, for others, well, I have far more embarrassing moments to share some other time), tonight you're going to have to break your one rule. By the way, that line comes from what I consider to be THE best scene in a somewhat long, drawn out and way too preachy (but still good) THE DARK KNIGHT. It's the one where they're in the cell and Batman is manhandling Heath Ledger a.k.a. the Joker and he's just laughing in his face..
OK, really digressed there....Anyway, the quote that I'm reposting is from last night's Runners World - actually all I know is they sent it to me at 12:59 AM - I wonder if they thought I'd be reading it then? Here it is:
Training for a race is sort of like a metaphor for life—it shows you how important goals are, it shows you how much you are capable of, it shows you the power of dedication. I've never run 13.1 miles, but I know I can do it. I will do it.

I really couldn't have described why we do Teens Run Yonkers any better than this. Besides the fact that way too many people are always comparing lives to a marathon, this gets right to the heart of the goal setting process. Love it.
