Focus Quote by Vaishali Kasture
“Too many times we flitter our energy into too many goals and in the process don't achieve much. Focus is very important in life. So I selected my distance and stuck to my guns on the half. Once I feel I have built the strength and achieved my full potential for the half, I will progress to the Full Marathon.”

![“For me, challenging myself with this type of endeavor [ultramarathons] brings the best out in me because even at the darkest, deepest moments when I feel like I can't go on, when I feel like there's no chance I could break the record or much less finish the trail, somehow I find that strength…” quote by Scott Jurek](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bcc/scott-jurek-9773_break_for-me-challenging-myself-with-this-type_1899458.jpg)
