2 weeks from today we will have completed our goal of 13.1 miles! Throughout the past 10 weeks we have all had sore knees, fatigue and, at times, feeling we are ready to throw in towel. However, the feeling of accomplishment that running distance brings helps to endure any of the setbacks we have faced mentally and physically. From this point on, our training schedule becomes more 'relaxed' and we can start preparing our minds for the October 3rd race.
I saw this quote on the back of my daughter's swim team T-shirt and I thought it was very applicable to all of us who are training for this event....
"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will." -Vince Lombardi
I am so very proud of this team. We should all pat ourselves on the back and put our feet up...we deserve it!

The Tarahumara Indians are an ancient tribe of super athletes that live in the Copper Canyon. Tarahumaran Indian Cirildo Chacarito showed up to a 100 mile Ultra Marathon over 30 minutes late. Cirildo wore his native garb including Hurache Sandals made from the tread of a tire and leather straps. He looked completely out of place amidst these world class Ultra Marathoners.
The unlikely contender won the race 37 minutes ahead of the 2nd place finisher. To top it off, Cirildo was 52 years old!
The Media swarmed around Cirildo and asked how he could run such an amazing race. Cirildo said it was the chia seed that gave him all his strength and endurance.
