I ran a marathon in 5 hrs. Here’s what I learned…

“Why do you run marathons?”

Here’s what I can tell you…

Last weekend, I ran my 7th marathon ever with my buddy Jimmy in 5 hrs & 2 minutes.

It was his first marathon, and I promised to run alongside him.

18 miles run – check

Then…

Jimmy hit a wall:

  • Cramps
  • Back ache
  • Shooting pain in feet

You name it, he had it.

We made up a new plan on the fly:

Run for 4 minutes, walk for 2 minutes.

Was it pretty?

Far from it.

But…

It worked.

  • The pain
  • The sweat
  • The training

They all paid off.

For me running marathons isn’t about:

  • Medals
  • Breaking records
  • Race day T-Shirts

Running a marathon is about…

  • Pushing your limits
  • Brotherhood
  • Inspiring others w/ what’s possible.

Last weekend, I achieved both.

Jimmy and I pushed through the tough spots.

And when my son watched me cross the finish line, it sparked an interest in becoming a runner like his dad.

Nothing online comes easy despite what the gurus tell you.

There’s no quick fix.

Things take time.

If you’re serious about growing your business online and want to reduce your learning time so you can spend more time inspiring others and living life on your terms, reply with the word “run”.

And I’ll send you more details.

Cheers,
