One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perhaps some of my most amazing experience is when i pushed myself beyond what i thought i was capable of doing. A few years ago i was talked into running marathons by a good friend from college previously never running much more than 2 miles in my life. It is amazing what a person can achieve through determination and motivation to succeed. Nevertheless i have ran a few more marathons after that. Another amazing accomplishment has been climbing to the top of several mountains. It is a very daunting and tiring task but the rewards once you reach the top are worth every drop of sweat require to reach it.
