Here is a little Motivation Monday for ya…
Look who is running Boston!
Scott Jurek (one of my favorite runners of all time) is running Boston this morning. I got this photo taken by¬†John Segesta,¬†off of Jurek’s fb page. But I had to share it with you because it is so inspiring.
I love this photo because just by looking at this inspiring image you can see that running is so much more than just putting one foot in front of the other!
Scott Jurek says, “I used to run for my mother who couldn’t run and now I get to be the eyes for Thomas Panek who can’t see.
As you can see, there is reason behind why a runner runs?
Why do you run?

Tomorrow is Marathon Monday!
Happy night before the Boston Marathon!
To everyone running 26.2 tomorrow morning…
Good luck and have fun!
Oh, and if times get tough, always remember, the mantra,
“Just keep moving forward!”
This week the running community’s heart was heavy, after hearing about the death of Meg Menzies. She was a 34 year old mom training for the Boston marathon. On Monday morning while running a 13 miler she was struck and killed by a drunk driver.
Although, I didn’t personally know Meg, I ran a quick loop effortlessly in honor if her. Many other runners did the same thing, wearing blue her favorite color.
It is a really amazing thing how fast news spreads on social media. I heard her story and was saddened but touched. By using #megsmiles the running community ones again stayed connected and was able to share their support.
Did you run for Meg?
