"This is about limits. Reaching them, exploring them, exceeding what you thought yours were. Then coming to the conclusion that there aren't any limits."
There is a small… very small… chance we’re in this movie in the background. During the filming of this movie, we ran next to one of the runners for a good portion of the Rome Marathon. Sometimes, we were in front, sometimes we were behind… Either way, a chance to be on film is a chance I suppose. Certainly, the cameraman kept filming My Girl, which she didn’t like, but I told her it meant I might be in the shot, too, and that was pretty cool. Either way, it will be a joy to watch!
Join us on December 23, 2012 for a LIVE youtube and Google Plus Hangout interview with HITS Race Director Barry Siff from the HITS Running Festival. HITS Triathlon Series had a successful first year and now in 2013 they are beginning a new adventure with a “All-Race-Distance” Running Festival, which will include a 5k, 10k, 1/2 Marathon, and Full Marathon all during the same event.
Lately, I’ve noticed that some of my G+ peeps have been either looking for motivation or struggling with it. Finding fitness motivation, and keeping it, can sometimes be tough. Personally, at the peak of my training, I find myself struggling also. So, these are the times that I look to the video world to keep me inspired.
Sometimes, you just need a little motivation. Sometimes, you need something to help get your arse out the front door. Every athlete has those things they draw upon when they are feeling low and when they need to get going. So I thought I would share some of my favorite motivational videos, and I’m sure I’ll be adding more as folks share with me. So far, here are some of my favorite videos.
Tough Mudder. For those who aren’t aware, the Tough Mudder series of events are about teamwork, tough obstacles, running, getting wet, and generally doing things that scare you to death.
There is a reason they call it a Tough Mudder. In fact, they even make fun of Warrior Dash, taunting the entrants with a sign near the beginning saying, “If this was Warrior Dash, you’d be done by now.”
Every year I’ve done a different obstacle course. My first year was Warrior Dash, last year was a Spartan Race, and this year… Tough Mudder Las Vegas.
So how do the events compare?
