no matter how we run or how we train, we are all in this together.

this has become my new favorite picture. 

The runner on the right is Oscar Pistorius (@oscarpistorius), known as “the Blade Runner”

When he was 11 months old, he had both legs amputated between the knee and ankle. Since then, he has gone on to run in able bodied events (not without some controversy) and has recently qualified for the 2012 Olympics and ran in the 2011 World Championships. 

the runner on the left? that’s Ellie Challis, a five year old who runs on the same type of legs. 

and by the looks of her, she’s just as inspiring.
