Giving up should never be an option. The Canadian Women’s Olympic Hockey Team proved that.
As the old adage goes “Winners never quit and Quitters never Win”. I believe in this. So did our champions. They were down and came back in a nail biting victory for Canada.
Is quitting ever an option for you? Have you ever experienced the feeling of running a race and getting to the point where you think your legs are going to break -and your mind is going numb? You feel like you can’t take a step any further but some how you do. You imagine your victory. Crossing the finish line will feel so sweet.
Sport is the way I found my true spirit. As a child I was never athletic – I was uncoordinated and never found a sport that fit me. I danced, I found gymnastics and competed but never really felt it was my true sport.
Then at work, on a lunch time break a friend told me that I should try going for a run with her. Over the run we decided on a 5 K race as a goal. I completed that goal and then went on to a 8 K, then a 10K, followed by a 15 K Race and finally 2 half marathons! I found my competitive spirit finally and a drive within me I never knew I had.
