Chunky Sweater Inspires World Peace

I’m an athletic, health-conscious sort of person; however, running a marathon is not something on any of my To Do lists (which can be more accurately defined as To Do notebooks in a giant bin). “Bad knee” or “not enough slow-twitch muscle fibers” are my favorite excuses, but, truthfully, it just seems like torture.
Watching one is a different story.  The day is young. The air is brisk. The coffee is hot. AND… it’s one of the few social events held outdoors this time of year. This means I won’t have to surrender my piece de resistance, the chunky sweater, to someone’s coat bed in order to survive an autumnally tragic 150 square-foot overheated living room with 45 guests, a basket of pine cones and a fireplace a-blazing.
Unfortunately (there’s always a catch), after a blissful hour of cheering on the runners in my marled goodness, I’m tempted to cut the 100% positive encouragement with a few reality bites like “You’re doing great, but not as good as the 1600 people ahead of you!” or “Ever hear of a sports bra?” Thankfully, I keep the peace with my signature shout of “Go!” and head home feeling quite inspired by how we humans possess an insatiable desire to go beyond the limits of our skin and bones to achieve great things we never thought we could. And all it took was a sweater.
