Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In some respects, progressing through life is like running a marathon.
It's about having an active lifestyle, staying healthy, and making the right decisions. Life is about balance. Not everybody wants to run a marathon, but we could all start working out and being active, whether you walk to work or take an extra flight of stairs.
Health is your greatest wealth, so experiencing a marathon and seeing what you're capable of is really special.
Running is a great metaphor for life. You set a goal, and then you get to work. How well you do is a direct reflection of how hard you work. It's a mental game, too. There are setbacks along the way, but the true test of a runner is how you overcome and push past them.
I am a distance runner, a marathoner... literally and figuratively.
I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.
I think life is sort of like a competition, whether it's in sports, or it's achieving in school, or it's achieving good relationships with people. And competition is a little bit of what it's all about.
Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's about taking a bigger-picture approach.
Life is about being a versatile athlete and training in all realms of life.
