  • there are only two types of people: those who say it can't be done, and those who do it.

  • not to be mean but i saw her during the race and she was crying because she wanted to quit but she would not allow herself because so many knew about her doing it

  • Damn she sucks...running only 50 miles damn i ran 85 in an ultra marathon bitch try that when ur only 14

  • Shes going to have a bad heart when shes older and age a lot more

  • Human beings were designed to walk long distances not run long distances. Look at the horse if you want an organism designed to run for a long time. And I quote "It has become clear that human walking is relatively efficient and human running inefficient compared to generalized endotherms." - "The Energetic Cost of Locomotion" Journal of Human Evolution

  • That's not inspiring, it's unhealthy for a little girl. I'm not saying she shouldn't run, god knows all us fatasses need it, but running that much? She's gonna have the knees of an old man when she turns 20 if she keeps it up. Not to mention the hormonal imbalance that occurs.

  • @tctp01 ????

  • I just ran a mile and I felt like dying

  • i dont mean to be rude but I could do this if my mom would let me

  • I love long distance running but I don't think someone this young should be doing 50-milers.

    I don't find it inspiring either, just find it kind of sad.

  • @pobzion So What?...the point is...she set out for her goal...and she did it.  She is an inspiration, and proof that one's will can be stronger than the defeating thoughts one's mind can produce. She is AWESOME!

  • @MalolaAnime Depends, how dedicated to running are you? Are you going to be serious about my advice or are you going to plan, research, discuss but fail to execute?
