ONEfight 2010-2011 Race and Event schedule!

Hey everyone!

We're looking at putting together the rest of our 2010 and 2011 race and events schedule! What we'd like to happen is one of two things. First, you can leave a comment on our page, or two, you can email us at onefightorg@gmail.com. And this is how we hope that it will work out. One of our big things is helping promote causes within the community that you live. So, we'd love to come to an event and help you out. Racing in a 5 or 10k? Half or full marathon? We'd love to get out and race with you and support you. Any other event you have in mind? We'd love to be there. Help you voice your cause. So let us know, and we will see what we can do to be there. Keep fighting.

WEIT

W.E.I.T. This is a little motto that I have come to live life by. What does it stand for some may be wondering. Or, what does it mean? Well, here it goes; Whatever It Takes. So this is how I learned it, and understand that Whatever It Takes should be WIT, but, if you can get past that, I think that this will truly benefit your life. There is a quote that I love, and it states;

When you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,

To work day and night for it,

To give up your peace and your sleep and your time for it;

If only the desire of it makes your aim strong enough never to tire of it;

If life seems all empty and useless without it,

And all that you dream and you scheme is about it;

If gladly you'll sweat for it, fret for it, plan for it,

Pray with all your strength for it;

If you'll simply go after the thing that you want with all your capacity,

Strength and sagacity; faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity;

If neither poverty nor cold nor famish nor gaunt

Nor sickness or pain to body or brain can turn you away

From the aim that you want;

If dogged and grim, you besiege and beset it, you'll get it!

If there is anything in your life that you want so bad, that you feel exactly how that quote describes, you'll find a way to get it. You will do absolutely anything to obtain that goal, or whatever it may be. It's important for us to obtain the goals, and achieve what we set out to do in our every day lives. Think of those things that we all want the most, and then do everything in our power to have the opportunity to reach those aspirations and feel the joy of accomplishing something great.

Marathon #2

If you would have told me that when I finished the St. George Marathon in October that I would have a desire to run another marathon, I would have told you that you were crazy. So, last month, I signed up for the St. George Marathon yet again, in hopes of getting in, and cutting my time down from last year. Yesterday, I found out. I wasn't accepted in to the lottery. I must say, I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to run in the St. George Marathon. So, I was torn with what to do. I was wondering is possibly someone somewhere was trying to tell me that I shouldn't run a marathon again. Maybe I am stubborn, maybe I just am a bit bitter right now, but I needed to find another marathon around the same time so that I could run it.

So... Here it is. After a bit of searching, on December 5th, 2010, a few weeks before we leave for a cruise in the Bahamas, I will be running the Rock 'N Roll Las Vegas Marathon. There are a few good things to being able to run this marathon:

1- It's a few months further away than the St. George, which will allow me some more time to train which is always a good thing right?

2-Everyone that signs up gets in. I don't have to worry about the lottery.

3- Once the marathon is over, I don't have to worry about getting into my 'beach body' mode for the cruise as I hope that I will already be there for the marathon.

I say that it is a win win situation. I am really looking forward to it, and to run it in a good time. So, I'll keep you updated on what is going on, and how the training is. Thanks for reading all of this. You're all great.
