I find this story I wrote about Meb last summer amazingly accurate as he just won the Boston Marathon. I had the best time sharing with my students the items he signed for us!
Sometimes we have to go outside our own thoughts and listen to others in order to grow stronger. I have a mantra with my dear friend Sarah that I use daily, “Know Better, Do Better.” So, I went up to the Montana Big Sky State Games, to run some beautiful miles along the Yellowstone River and the Ridge Line. I think though, more importantly, I came to listen to Meb Keflezighi speak about one of my favorite topics: Never Give Up.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with him one on one because it didn’t really see that too many other people at this time of the opening games knew who he was…..but I did. So, I asked questions, and as much as I love to tell stories, I LISTENED!
