Gear 2.0: Inspiration

I decided to talk about something intangible but non the less it should be in your gear bag! I thought about it while riding my mountain bike and obviously while watching the olympics.  There are no shortage of inspirational stories from the Olympic Games, just turn the tube on and you will be hard press not to feel the emotions for the athlete competing as well as the stories behind it.  I also think there are some many inspirational moments in out personal lives, from friends running crazy distances to honour their lost ones, retired guys taking a bite out of life while training and racing, the list goes on and on.  I really think that's one of the greatest assets of human lives, the ability to feel inspired. We will all have road blocks in our lives, but if we are and feel inspired to do something, the sky is the limit.  I encourage each and one of you to get inspired and to get out there to reach your goals.  They can be as small as finishing your first 5 km run, to entering a race and beat your personal best or to win an event.  Dare to dream! Happy trails!

Carpe Diem

P.S: GO Canada GO at the London Olympics!
