Everyone at the starting line has a story to tell....


Tomorrow our No Boundaries Folks will bring their stories to the starting line of the Heart and Sole 5K! We are do proud of them for their commitment to this program and especially their commitment to themselves! It’s been hard work but their enthusiasm and determination will take them past that starting line and confidently across the finish line.

We learn in life that there are No Boundaries, there’s nothing stopping you when you put your mind to something, when you are determined to do it. Your success isn’t good luck, never call it luck, it’s your hard work. When you are standing at the starting line anywhere in life, pat yourself on the back for just getting there, then grit your teeth put in your best performance and make it across the finish line!

So No Boundaries Folks, look around at all the friends at that starting line, some there for the first time, some there for a personal record, some there because they had nothing else to do on a Saturday morning except run. High five your friends from the group because through the rain, snow, sleet, and even beautiful weather you made that commitment to being fit, to running a race and seeing it through to the end.

What stories are you going to tell after this race?

  1. I could have never made it to this point without the amazing help of Stacie and our awesome volunteer coaches. No Boundaries has been everything I ever dreamed of and more and I cannot thank you enough for welcoming me into the Fleet Feet family!! Now let's get the party started, because we are going to ROCK!!

  2. I'm going to tell how training for this race helped me regain my perspective about life, getting older and pushing myself.

    I've had a little quote on my bedroom mirror for several years and it pretty well sums up why I wanted this challenge...." Everyone who lives dies BUT no everyone who dies has lived!" I want to be someone who has lived! I want to challenge myself to reach further and further!

    The program and coaches are awesome! I'm so thankful for all their support!
