Need Inspiration??? - The GroundPounders Have it in Spades!!!

Marine Corps MarathonImage via Wikipedia
Here are four brief yet truly inspiring biographies about non-traditional athletes that I came across at the web site for the 2010 Marine Corp Marathon. If you've had difficulty getting moving or starting an exercise program, these might help you get moving! I promise you'll at least throw out all the leftover Halloween candy in your house....

"In 1976, the first Marine Corps Marathon welcomed nearly 2,000 runners to the start line. Only four of those original runners have participated in every MCM. They are affectionately named "the Groundpounders". Known for their dedication to the sport of running and their allegiance to "The People's Marathon", the Groundpounders are staples on the course, rich with history, memories and the spirit of the MCM."
