We all have our own spectrum of excellence. Deep inside it is there. Citius, Altius, Fortius! Faster! Higher! Stronger!
It is those that delve deepest that inspire me most. Runners that are determined to mine their inner most resources. Those that dare to “Run To Your Potential.”
Understanding that we all have our reasons for running. Almost as many reasons as runners in fact. There are a few universal truths however. Running makes us feel better. Physically, emotionally, mentally. Those are very beneficial base lines. But there is so much more to putting one foot in front of the other.
As you develop your personal relationship with running a little voice starts accompanying your efforts. That little Jiminy Cricket helps keep you within your comfort zone. And that alone is a valid reason for running.
If you stick with it, running becomes a vehicle, a mode of transport. To here and there yes, but the spiritual journey far more beneficial. The journey outside your comfort zone. It is then running’s glory is truly revealed. Is the most transformative. From the inside out.
Manifesting in all manner of challenge. The Hitchcock Experience this past weekend an excellent example. People from every walk of life tackling 100 miles, 50 miles, and half marathon distances over the snow and ice packed trails of Hitchcock Nature Center in Honey Creek, Iowa. The stories emerging eye popping, some jaw dropping. The sense of accomplishment palpable.
We are offering you several opportunities to pursue your own personal excellence. Especially if you are interested in challenging ‘ol Jiminy Cricket, showing him that you are ready to move outside your comfort zone. The Two Rivers Winter Fitness Series (and America’s Marathon!) gives you the very best chance to “Run To Your Potential”, whatever that may be. The pancake flat course, the camaraderie, the challenge. Whether your 5K is 35 minutes or 15 minutes, you deserve a safe, closed road opportunity. We will make sure you get it.
