Persistence. Endurance. Perseverance.
All in all, the words above revolve around a single, simple word— Dedication.
“Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize. Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. Thus I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight as if I were shadowboxing. No, I drive my body and train it, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should be disqualified” - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
These are words for me to live by.
Are you surprised that the only running back to not only score a running touchdown against the San Francisco defense, but to also gain over 100 yards, was Marshawn Lynch?
