marathon

This Saturday I spoke to students at the UBC Student Leadership Conference (SLC) and our VoiceStory workshop was titled "Your story is not a GPA".

At the end of the presentation I left them with this:

What could you do, if you got rid of the story that YOU created that is preventing you from doing it?

I have run the BMO Half Marathon the last 4 years and will continue to run it, as a reminder of where I used to be and where I am now.

Last week my friend Amy challenged me to do a full marathon this year and even offered to run the last 10km with me as support.

I gave her a bunch of excuses why I chose not to.

This evening my own words echoed through my mind...

In order to inspire and motivate the next generation I have to "practice what you preach", so I upgraded my registration to run the full marathon!

Once again... it is not a matter of IF I will finish, it is only a matter of when.

I will see you at the finish line!
