What is a hero? Is it a guy who dresses up in a tight spandex suit who battles evil-doers? Is it a man distinguished by exceptional courage and strength? Is it a Greek demi-god?
The word hero has become overused so much so that it has lost it’s meaning entirely. We want to help bring the word to it’s true fruition, it’s true meaning, it’s true purpose. The word, “hero” should only be used for a select few, the chosen ones, the righteous.
Therefore, we have reserved this sacred word for those that mean the most to us, “YOU.” Forever and always, YOU will be our heroes, for YOU help to motivate us, encourage us and inspire us. YOU are the true heroes.
Be prepared for future installments in our blog where we profile one of our readers and share their experiences to The Running Brother world, which in case YOU haven’t noticed, YOU are now a part of.
Thanks for following @theroad2wd on Twitter today. I’m very excited to start reading your blog and it’s already been added to my daily reading list of RSS feeds. I just recently started the Couch2 5k program. I’m currently 308 pounds and that’s down from 388 where I started. I started an attempt to run just four weeks ago. Other than a slight bout with shin splints, it seems to be going well.
That is fantastic! You should connect with Peter Engwall (@Auggiesdad), and read our posts about him. We interviewed him a month or two ago and he went through the same experience that you are going through. Now, he is competing in marathons, triathalons and Ironmans. It’s a really inspirational story.
Well ….. I have no idea what to put but …. You guys look like you’re having a ball with your adventures and I wish you all the very best of luck :)) And yes, I shall be following you to see what antics you get up to as I have a feeling it’s going to be a blast :))) As for hero, everytime I say that word in my head I think of Bonnie Tyler and the song – so I’m useless! lol
Sharon aka JOG900LE :))))
Sharon!!! Yay!! You are not one of our official heroes, but as one of our heroes you can’t just sit on your butt. I will contact you with ways to be our hero forever.
