I recall vividly in 2005 when I ran my first half marathon, thinking it was obscene to think of going any further, so I just stuck to halves for many years thereafter purely out of being intimidated of 26.2.
Fast forward several years, I’ve ran 17 full marathons, 2 fifty mile races, and have a goal of 100-miler on the horizon.
Thanks Jeff-great article. I believe in the power of positivity and that if you set your mind to it you can do anything but sometimes life makes you doubt that. I’m going to picture that I’m a goldfish when that happens😀Thanks!!
That was one of my favorite Nike Ads! In fact, I still have a copy of the No Finish Line ad and still refer to it more often than I probably should. Thanks for the fact check on the moon walk. I'm going to edit that now. Hugely appreciated, Chris!
Believing in yourself is key.
While hope can be risky, hope combined with self belief can lead to a bigger bowl

Great observations, Jeff! I'm also reminded of the long ago sneaker ad slogan: there is no finish line. Keeping your eyes on the horizon helps.
Quick fact check: the moon walk was 1969, not 1966...
