Most people compare life to a marathon due to the fact that you must learn to endure and persevere. Then there are others that compare life to a series of sprints. The latter is best illustrated by the great American sprinter, Michael Johnson, when he said, "Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best."
Personally, I think life is a lot like running hills. There are times when you think you will never make it to the top and times when you feel as if you can't fail. These ups and downs are what make the journey so exciting. Without trials and tribulations or victories and defeats, life would be boring. Sure hard times aren't fun, but they often make us stronger, better people in the long run. If you are currently running uphill don't get discouraged. Keep fighting and know that better times are sure to come. To those that are coasting downhill, start preparing for the next incline, because it is sure to be here before too long. As Percy Cerutty said, "Run hard, be strong, think big!"
