Overcoming the "Stopping Wish" in a Marathon
By Brendan Cournane.

Running a marathon is 90% mental. The other half is physical.

The original quote is from philosopher Yogi Berra on hitting a baseball, but a paraphrase is appropriate in running a marathon.  In every endurance event, just about all participants will encounter that little voice on his or her shoulder planting seeds of doubt whether they can finish the event.  But that little voice can be silenced with planning and training.

I love keeping in contact with people from around the world that are energetic and motivated about endurance running and physical fitness.
