Persistence Pays Off

Just read a story about a guy who has finally won a competition. He had been enetering this every week for the past couple of years. He thought he was never going to win, but kept at it and finally he won. A lesson in persistence. Last week I enjoyed watching Dame Kelly Holmes on the Piers Morgan show. She had a tough upbringing, but found she was good at running and took that up. She trained hard but was often sidelined by injury, but she was persistent and when the 2004 Olympics in Athens came around she found herself fit and her dream of winning an Olympic gold seemed a distinct possibility. Most know the story of how she won not one gold but two, winning the 800 and 1500 metres races, and her place in British running history was assured. Her persistence had finally paid off, big time.
Haven't been out running all week, have just felt the body needed a rest so will see how the next few days go and maybe get back into some kind of training soon.
