The other night I went out and ran 8.5 miles. While I was running through the cold rain on the streets of our home town, Michelle was attending grant presentations for the City of Everett.
I pride myself on endurance. However, there are people in our community willing to do real work for the benefit for those who need it most. They are change-makers. They are affecting lives today, tomorrow and into the future.
As Michelle walked me through the inspirational plans and presentations she heard and her excitement for the ability of normal people to do extraordinary things in the lives of their fellow man, I was humbled.
Eight miles in the rain; any idiot can do that. It takes real dedication, heart and commitment to change the world. That's real endurance!
