Running

"I was very disappointed, and thought that the coach had made a mistake. But my mother said the best thing for me to do was to prove to the coach that he was wrong. And I started working on my game the day after I was cut." - Michael Jordan commenting on being rejected during tryouts for his H.S. basketball team.

"I started running at the age of twenty. I'd run about a 1/2 mile after lifting weights at the gym. I then began seriously. I started off running just one mile, that's all I could do. Then it became 2 miles, 3 miles. I'd pick certain stoplights to run to and back. I liked it. I never thought I could run a marathon. Then I began to change my thoughts to I can (most of running is mental). I ran with a friend. You can do it too. You may just surprise yourself. Make sure you have the right shoe for you. We all have different feet and most people at the mall running stores have no idea what they are talking about. Go to a specialty store. Good luck and remember, "I think I can"
