After a long disappointing day I decided to go to the gym to de-stress myself. After a great two hour workout, I decided to go into the sauna and relax. Within the sauna I came across one of the most inspirational men ever! At the age of 55 and only weighing 135 pounds he went on and told me about how he participated within marathons; some to the extent of where he ran for two days straight without any sleep! What he told me next was what blew me away; he told me that next month he would be participating within the Badwater UltraMarathon. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a race "covering 135 miles (217km) non-stop from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, CA in temperatures up to 130F (55c); it is the most demanding and extreme running race offered anywhere on the planet". Only a 100 individuals are selected throughout the entire planet to participate within this event! This man, who is at the age of 55, and weighing only 135 pounds will be participating in the worlds #1 ranked toughest race. If at that age he is capable of doing such, then let that be an inspiration to us all; imagine the possibilities we can accomplish ourselves! Never give up and keep pushing yourself until you succeed. Share and like this post for others to see and become motivated.
