2010 San Antonio Marathon - One More Thing Crossed off the Bucket List!

A while back I wrote a post called "What do real estate and running a marathon have in common". At the time I was preparing to run my very first 26.2 mile marathon.

Well, this past Sunday I achieved what I set out to do. And it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! Extremely hard, but so incredibly life changing. So much so, that I would encourage EVERYONE to attempt a marathon once in their life.

There's never been a time when I've challenged myself more than during those five and a half hours of running. The internal dialogue going on was fierce - because making your body DO what it tells you it should NOT be doing is a challenge to say the least. I firmly believe the inner strength I gained while setting that goal, training and then ACHIEVING that goal will carry over to my real estate career, my personal life and even my spiritual life.

So, without further ado, I decided to document the journey with my Flip video. I wasn't sure that I'd ever set out to run another marathon so I wanted to record the event - with all the good, bad and ugly. It's a little "Blair Witchy" - especially in the last 30 seconds or so of the video...but I think it captures the electricity, feeling and energy of the moment.

To all my Realtor/Lender/Stager/etc friends out there - when was the last time you truly CHALLENGED yourself? It took running 26.2 miles for me. Don't be afraid to see what you are made of. You might surprise yourself.
