It was a slow Wednesday at work and my brain was churning as I brainstormed for new experiences I could embark on in my life. Then, the idea hit me. I texted my girlfriend and said “I will take you to Disney World if you agree to run a marathon with me. You in? Yes or no?” Within 24 hours, we took a leap of faith and booked our marathon without much consideration. Despite never running before, she agreed to running this 26.2 mile race because she always wanted to see Disney World; But me, Why did I suggest and commit to this idea? What turned an ordinary boring Wednesday into a full on commitment to completing a runners ultimate goal?
