I just sat in on an interview with a reporter from the Goldsboro News Argus and two brothers, Tech. Sgt. Stephen Woofter, 916th Intel, and Capt. Chris Woofter, 567th RED HORSE. These two have been running marathons and 'super marathons' since 2001. Chris started with just a 10K. I was so inspired by them. They finish every race together and they talked about their journey to fitness and what it takes to complete 50 miles. You can see Chris's response in my subject line, but Steve also said something that I think all of us can relate to, "Everybody's going to have a low time." The brothers help each other get through their low times.
Today was my 2nd day of weight training, and as I was in the gym I thought to myself that I needed a partner. Partners help you, they challenge you and they get you through those low times when you just don't think you can go on anymore. If you're just starting a workout routine, or you're looking for more of a challenge, try to find someone you enjoy spending time with that near the same level you are. You might be surprised at the results (and please let me know if you start running 50 miles!)
