Trait #3 Strength
This is a great trait, strength. The article describes the elements as being tough and flexible. In the marathon, there will always be some sort of a curve ball or significant challenge. For me, I have run three different full marathons and I have encountered the following:- Mild muscle cramps (my first marathon)
- Severe muscle cramps (my second marathon)
- Forgetting to take the right amount of fuel (my second marathon)
Notice the trend, I didn't write about the third marathon. I changed my plan on the third and it worked. Strength is inherent in the marathon. In my first two marathons, I had to revise my plans, remain flexible and I had to BELIEVE.
Being strong will help you in anything you do, but especially the full marathon.

This post reminds me of a story I read once ;Frank Shorter is doing his thing and he turns to the guy next to him and says "if only Pheidippides died at mile 17 - this would be so much easier"
