Encouragement to Move Forward

I'm leaving today for the Black Mountain 12 hour endurance run. I have high hopes in completing lots and lots of miles, basically running until time runs out! As I created a list of encouraging quotes to help keep me moving forward, I thought they can be used with any goal and in life. Finding a way to dig deeper within yourself can not only be rewarding physically, but often emotionally and spiritually. I think that is why I keep testing myself physically... I find a "zone" that takes me to a place physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It's a place in the depths of my soul that is not tapped into on a daily basis. When given the opportunity to set goals that will challenge you to find this level of self-discovery... take it, run with it, use it to transform your life into a happier, healthier, stronger you!!!
