YOU CAN'T ALWAYS WIN, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS PUSH
SOME EVENTS ARE HECKBENT on producing mediocrity. Taking what seemed impossible and shaving it down to mockery...
... nobody wants that.
At least, not us.
While the LA Marathon stooped to giving participation trophies to anybody who finished 18 miles, where...
- people hit the wall
- demons are confronted
- the wear become warriors
... Detroit's own Nathan Martin laid down the greatest finish of all 26.2 miles I've ever seen.

Now, if that doesn't make you dream of sprinting for the win, then maybe this quote will get you outta bed a little earlier...
... You can't always win, but you can always push.
Don't take from me, watch this clip now: https://x.com/runliftrunlift/status/2030815422770262506?s=20
Nathan blesses us with this gold: I always challenge myself to push, regardless of if there is someone to chase or I'm all by myself. Because I know I want to finish giving everything I had...
... You have to believe, until you manifest it, it's just kind of an idea.
Amen, Nathan Martin!
