Shortly after I finished my first marathon in September, I knew I wanted something special, yet simple, to remind me of the journey. It was an amazing accomplishment to cross that finish line and I knew it would never quite feel the same again. I wanted to bottle that feeling and remind myself every day of why I push forward... and keep on running.
I found the perfect solution at Endorphin Warrior...
See, in many ways I feel like I'm married to my running. It's made me cry tears of joy... and tears of pain. Running can be a lot of hard work at times, but the rewards of the journey are incredible.
This Warrior Training Ring is sterling silver and handmade to order. Endorphin Warrior offers this ring in 14 different empowering keywords to choose from for women and men. It's the perfect gift for someone starting out on a journey or after they cross the finish line. I like the simplicity of it. And all it takes is one look down to remind myself, "I'm a Marathoner."
Like everyone, I have dips in the road... low times when I feel defeated. Right now this darn injury has me hanging. I'm finding this new piece as a source of strength...
I am UNBREAKABLE.
There is nothing that can break me unless I allow it.
By staying FIT today, you have the opportunity to win
your choice of a Warrior Training Bracelet from Endorphin Warrior.
