A Dose of Inspiration

This weekend I watched a recap of the 2011 Ironman World Triathlon Championships in Kona Hawaii.  What an amazing collection of stories.  From the super-athletes that can complete the entire race in eight or nine hours to the 81 year old man who didn't learn to swim until he was in his 50's to the paraplegic war veteran; it was truly an inspirational thing to watch. 
I also enjoyed the stories of all the people who were running for a cause.  Some were running because they had fought back cancer, others because they lost 250 pounds, others to raise money and awareness for starving children. 
All of these amazing people summoning every last drop of strength and determination to finish the race really makes one wonder why anyone would give up on anything. 
Simply Amazing!!
