Why Marathon of Learning?

Back in 2011 I started capturing stories from my life. Or simple observations. The idea being that I need to remember what I’m learning and track how I’m thinking.

That year I had read Mindset by Carol Dweck and realized I didn’t like how I thought on a lot of things, particularly struggles and failure. I needed a more growth oriented mindset. So, I started writing.

Why marathon? It’s proven to fit well as it’s now 2018 and I’m still learning. Learning isn’t a sprint. Not a 400 meter dash. It’s ongoing. It’s life long.

More recently I’m learning the value of knowing, sharing and writing your story. This is part of my story.

Motivation for Running

When I registered to run the marathon back in 2006, I got a free 4 month subscription to Runner's World magazine.  Kaylyn and I still get it and read it today.  It is very motivational, whether you are wanting to run your first 5K or 10th marathon.  You can read stuff on the website for free or get a subscription for a year for as little as $1 per issue ($12 per year).  It is well worth it.  To see their site, just click on the title of this post.
