Nothing was going to stop US Marine Micah Herndon from crossing the finish line. He’d tied the tags of his fallen soldier friends to his laces and they spurred him on to make it across. Need a little motivation or inspiration? Here it is...
“I run in honor of them,” Herndon said. “They are not here anymore. I am here, and I am able. I am lucky to still have all my limbs. I can still be active. I find fuel in the simple idea that I can run. Some cannot.
“If I get a heat cramp while running or my feet hurt or I am getting exhausted, I just keep saying their names out loud to myself. They went through much worse, so I run for them and their families.” (via Record-Courier)
