The ING Georgia Marathon was a smashing success for USA Fit Atlanta members. To end our first season of USA Fit Atlanta, we had 6 people complete the Half Marathon (including 1 Coach), and 11 people complete the Full Marathon (including 1 coach and the organizer). 4 of the Half Marathoners were first-timers. 7 of our Marathoners were first-timers!
I am wowed, amazed and so very inspired by my team of runners! Throughout this season I have seen so many of them lose weight, become stronger and more fit, and show determination and inner strength the likes of which I've never seen before! What an amazing experience this has been. I feel so fortunate to have been allowed this opportunity to be a small part of this and to be able to watch these transformations!
CONGRATULATIONS to the best team of runners from Gwinnett County and nearby!

ING Georgia Marathon
Only two days until the ING Georgia Marathon. We've been training hard for the last 26 weeks and its been such an amazing time. We've weathered cold temperatures, injuries, setbacks, tight family schedules, and more. But, we've persevered and now we are ready to test our limits AND SUCCEED!!!
This Season was our first Season running USA Fit Atlanta in the Gwinnett County area. It has been more inspiring and fulfilling than I could have imagined. Seeing the dedication and determination of everyone that stuck with this program, especially when they were feeling like quitting or were having a hard time getting in their runs...it is so motivational to see them push through and continue toward their goal.
Some members have had setbacks and had to change their goals, but the fact that they continued to stick with it and continue to persevere even though it wasn't the goal they started with - that is an incredible achievement! It is what this is all about...learing to persevere and never give up!! That kind of committment is what changes people inside!
I once read a quote..."The key is to have a dream that inspires us to go beyond our limits." That is so true. When we push past our self-conceived limits, we begin to get a glimpse of the true potential that we have and we realize that it was our own self doubt that imposed those limits on ourselves, and without any substantiation. We are each capabable of more than we ever dreamed possible, all we have to do is DREAM and then push beyond those limits and realize those dreams.
We all have it within us.....so lets put on our running shoes and GO FULLFILL OUR DREAMS!!!!
