Running on a Healthy Path with Modern Day Forrest Gump
Nov 26, 2021
Starting from childhood to adulthood, we face challenges even in the most basic situations. Everyone, even the most successful people, experiences problems and has its fair share of setbacks and hardships because it is never meant to be easy. Life is full of uncertainties, but it is up to us if we can accept the fact that not everything is within our control.
As humans, challenges are part of our lives and we have the ability to overcome these by not taking the obstacles as a burden, but rather blessings. Hardships and downfalls are not always punishments from what we’ve done but sometimes they can be the rewards for our own successes.
In this another episode, we’ve invited the veteran ultra-long distance runner, Guinness World Book of Record holder, and dubbed as the modern-day Forrest Gump, Stan Cotrell, to share us lessons and nuggets of inspiration to help us reach our goals and dreams.
Stan has been racing around the country to promote health, hope, and friendship. He is a man of wisdom and stories to share that would entertain and inspire you as well. Even at the age of 78, he still manages to run 30 miles per day, which inspires countless others. Tune in to not miss his inspiring stories as he shares the amazing things he’s been doing.
