Inspiration

My city's marathon was today, and I went downtown to cheer the runners on.

I am in awe. Each and every one of those runners is an inspiration to me.

I was there for three hours and saw everyone from the winners to regular Jane and Joe runners. Each has my utmost respect for making it to both the start and finish line.

AWW-SOME inspiration. Amazing! :D

Also, I saw a documentary on the 2007 Kona Ironman tonight. This is after seeing a similar program on the 2008 race last week. Also found much inspiration from this! I honestly can't fathom what these people have accomplished. What an insane and amazing feat just to get to the finish, not even mentioning doing it as quickly as these guys do. Kona 2009 is next weekend, and I'll be keeping my eye out for race news.
