I recently came across a movie-like showing a group of sedentary non-runners who went thru a 9 month training program to prepare them for the Boston marathon. This group of non active ppl are struggling with their health problem. Heavy smokers, heart disease, HIV positive, obesity. You name it, they have it. Some wanna do it to beat depression, some wanted to make a turning in their health.

They started off with 1 mile in their 1st training and it's already a struggle for them. As I watch thru the 5 series from day 1 of the training till the final countdown of the marathon, I see how each of them struggle yet are determine to continue with the training for as long as their body and their doctors allowed.

It's pretty inspiring I would say and it's not only to running. Why on earth do we want to slack and give tonnes and tonnes of reason not to exercise yet there are others out there who went thru physical and emotional struggle and pain in order to keep a healthy lifestyle.

9 month of training, some encounter difficulties in the midst. Can they cross the finishing line? I shall leave the rest of the stories for you to explore:

Now, do you feel guilty?
