I find March is the most diffcult for me to teach. Perseverance is the attribute of character I talk about most during this month. I recently found a video of John Steven Aquari who finished his marathon at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. The Tanzanian runner kept running even though he was injured and the last man to finish.
When asked why he didn't give up, he responded, "My country did not send me seven thousand miles to start this race, but to finish it."
That's a great story! Thanks for linking up!
