Motivating Quote

Today I read this quote:

“When I first started running, I was so embarrassed I'd walk when cars passed me. I'd pretend I was looking at the flowers.”
– Joan Benoit Samuelson, winner of the 1984 Olympic marathon

It's always exciting to me to hear that accomplished athletes are real people just like me! I think she got over her embarrassment!

Joan's book, Running for Women is about 3rd in my line of books screaming at me to read.
