Friends, don’t let negativity stop you.  Don’t let doubt crush your spirit.  Find your strength that is inside.  We ALL have it.  We are built to last.  Let this be your motivating force today.

My oldest son, Trenton, is beginning a big challenge.  He’s training for his first half-marathon.  I think he caught the running fever from me, so I’m going to fuel this flame.  One of his favorite bands is Redlight King.  I recently added them to my iPod and found that the songs are great to run to.  The beat to this particular song is nice and even.  The tempo is perfect for an endurance pace or a weights workout.

Trenton, you have the determination of your mother, and you’re the son of a US Marine.  You are built to last.  We’ll do this together, slow & steady.  You do this for those who can’t.  You do this for the challenge; to prove that nothing is impossible…

And you do this for YOU.

You keep rollin’ on
There’s no lookin’ back
You keep rollin’ on
There’s no lookin’ back
Built to last

***I tried to find Redlight King’s video.  It appears the song is so new there is no video yet.  Please enjoy the audio.
