Marathon Motivation

Motivation to run the 26.2 miles of a marathon comes in many different forms – some of them related. And in that case I mean that literally. The thirteen Weisse siblings will be running in Wisconsin’s Fox Cities Marathon that weekend. Aside from the bragging rights that come with finishing a marathon, whether the entire family finishes they will break the current Guinness World Records. Currently holding the record is a family of 12 Irish siblings that completed the Dublin marathon.

Each member of the family needs to total all 26.2 miles in 8 hours. I am rooting for them! Most of the Weisse siblings are running newbies, but the family, spread across the state of Wisconsin and the U.S., used daily e-mails to energize and

inspire each other. I, for one am, inspired!

What approximately you? Would having your name and the names of all your siblings in the Guinness Book of World Records motivate you to run a marathon? Tell me how you feel approximately it in the comments section below!
