You line up and you're ready for the race to start. Ahead of you is 4 miles waiting to be run. Suddenly, you hear the horn sound and you're off. First, you work on you pace then your breathing. But out of nowhere someone trips you and you face plant onto the dirt road. As you quickly get up and try to dust yourself off the best you can as you continue running; you hear a couple of people laughing behind you. What do you do at that moment? This exact thing happened to me. The first thing that came to my mind was this quote exactly "Don't worry about those who talk behind your back they're behind you for a reason" and so with a smile I kept on going and those were the same people I was encouraging miles later to keep on going. This very quote has been what has kept me going for years despite what others say about me.
