"Life is a Marathon not a Sprint"

I heard this quote in two different places this week. Once on the BET Hip hop Awards, during LL Cool J's acceptance speech and again today while listening to a trainer's fitness plan named Jamie Eason on bodybuilding.com. This is a true statement and I just wanted to share because it really caused me to ponder on it for a while. So I did some research on the quote and this is what I found...

-A marathon by its nature is an endurance race that tests and tries the body, eventually taking it beyond its breaking point.

-A sprint as the verb, means to run or move very fast for a short distance

-“Life is a marathon, not a sprint” refers to the fact that related to making lifestyle choices and changes, you need to stick with it for the long haul. Many of us are impatient and want to have quick results.

Whatever your goals, aspirations or dreams are, stick with it for the long haul! Your marathon will be complete in due time, beyond what you thought was your breaking point. :)

TGIF and as always,

Be inspired :)
