Unleash Your Inner Champion: Tips to Achieving your Ultimate Half Marathon Victory!

We did it!

After months of mental prep.

2 weeks of physical prep.

A busy work / newborn prepping schedule.

My good friend Clement and I completed the Blue Shore Triple Crown!

That's a 5k, 10k, and 21.1k run within 2 weeks!!!

It’s amazing how these races test your willpower and determination.

Our legs were cramping BAD halfway through…

It only got progressively worse throughout…

In the end, we were limping across the finish line!

Yeah… not my most glorious moment but it felt AMAZING!

So, why did I sign up for a half marathon?

Many reasons…

I wanted to test my self - endurance, physical capacity and mental strength.

I wanted to do something I can look back on and be proud to say I did that!

But most of all, I did it for my kids.

To show them that if you put your mind to anything, you can achieve what you want.

To have them understand that our achievements should be celebrated in order to have them become significant emotional events.

To lead as an example and reassure them that if their daddy can do it, so can they!

To encourage them to try things that may seem scary at first.

To demonstrate how self-discipline can be fun and help you succeed!

I’ve heard that kids are like rocket fuel for productivity, patience building, and prosperity.

I can say that this is true.

They are my BIG why.

My little powerhouses!

My intrinsic motivators to do more, be more and live life well!

Do you have someone or something in your life that does this for you?

Happy running my friends!

Much love,

Alex
