In one of the posts on the bulletin board, Robin mentioned a website by John Bingham. I took a look at http://www.johnbingham.com/ and had a good laugh at the concept of being a penguin. According to Mr. Bingham, a penguin is someone who "runs more for the joy of running than for recognition and public rewards." There's a great section on his website that lists "you might be a penguin if..." that's LOL. I just want to have as much fun as this guy:

Although I will probably avoid wearing any combintion of black and white clothes!
Also on his website is a page about "becomming a runner" and it is very insightful and inspiring. He talks of the changes that go on in ourselves as we take on a more active lifestyle. In particular he talks of the "invisible changes" going on inside -- changes in the strength of resolve and spirit. Of course, this fits in so well with Mark's talk today about how we change our lifestyle through changing our results, our actions, our attitudes and most importantly, our beliefs.
So here's to all of us marathoners...changing inside and out. We're meeting the challenge sometimes head on, sometimes a bit sideways, but continuing to put one foot in front of the other, fast or slow but forward.
I believe we can do this. I believe we will do this. I believe we are marathoners!
