Motivational Monday: The Last Present Under the Tree

From all of us at WAR Elite Racing we would like to wish you and your loved ones the happiest of holidays! During this time of year we get to cherish those things we value the most in our lives. From our faith to our families and yes even our favorite meals and lets not forget those presents under the tree we so much look forward to opening! I myself got a projector from my family so I can use in coaching our WAR Elite athletes or to give a power point presentation to potential sponsors or new runners! While we enjoy these gifts there is one present that isn't gift wrapped or in a gift bag. It doesn't have a bow or fancy ribbon. Its isn't in a big or small box. In fact if you fail to look closely enough you might miss it. You may be asking what gift is that. My tree is now empty of filled with empty bags and torn-up wrapping paper. The gift I'm referring to is the one that keeps on giving day after day mile after mile, footstep after footstep. The present that you love and sometimes hate but always come back to! The present that doesn't fit in a box or a bag unless you consider the entire plant a gift bag! Of course the gift I'm speaking of is the wonderful gift of running. Since this is a time to be happy and grateful for all the most special people and things in our lives its only fitting that we take a minute to open the last present under the tree and appreciate what it has given us and will continue to do so in the coming year. Think about so many that don't have this present under the tree and haven't yet experience the joys of running. Even more so think of those that can't enjoy our sport. Feel very fortunate that you are able to run. When my high school athletes ask "What do we HAVE to run today?" I respond with " You GET to run 8 miles today! Smile!" So this week at work wear your new sweater and show off your new running shoes or running shorts on your next club run but don't forget to put on and use that last gift "RUNNING" Use it day after day! It comes with a life time warranty, doesn't require batteries, and is fully water proof ! From all of us at Ware Elite Racing have a very Merry Christmas and Keep Running!!!
