So we’re about four months out from The Columbus Distance Classic Half-Marathon.

And I’d like to issue a challenge…. RUN THE RACE.

Seriously. This isn’t a joke and don’t leave this post.

I’ve already got a few friends who are going to be running with me this year and I think the more, the merrier.

Look, here’s the problem: You keep putting stuff off like this every year. We all have our list of excuses and things that have to happen before we can do the things that we want to do: “I’m too busy, I don’t know when I would find the time, I need to lose some weight first, I don’t like running, I should run a shorter race first….”

The majority of people in America would LOVE to be able to run a half-marathon. They would get to the end and cross the finish line and be blown away that they could even have completed something that tough.

But most will never attempt it.

It’s not that they CAN’T… they just never TRY.

So start now. Start this year.

Come on. You owe it to yourself.

Make a decision to do a few things this year that SCARE you. Put a few things on the list that really cause your mind to check out because they’re that big. And just start moving towards them.

If you want in, email me and let me know you want to run the race. We’ll put together some running groups.
