In this episode I will be completely honest and open up a little
to tell you some things I’ve not previously revealed about me, and
will run the 113th Boston Marathon with you. A marathon is a
very open, public and sincere physical event that puts you out
there: for better or worse, revealing all of your weaknesses, as
well as physical and mental pressure points. A marathon
forces you to face yourself in a very public and very introspective
way.
I wasn’t supposed to run this race, and when I was a child the
kids on the playground who once laughed at me when I dropped the
ball said that I could never do such a thing. But today, I’m
running a marathon…an event that is as much an analogy for life as
anything you could cover in 26.2 miles. It correlates
perfectly mile after mile for every period of your life, from
cradle to grave: and it gives you the opportunity to do something
special, amazing, inspirational and impressive.
