Aiming for the marathon is a task of sorts which can include terrific highs and lows.

I want to run until I can't run

Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.

Every time I bomb out, I have to come back. I have a feeling after a bad race that my next one will be good.

I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal.

A change of pace in terms of your running pace will give you strength psychologically.

Running is a very natural activity. If you get too caught up, you find yourself constantly seeking to make running something that it isn't. You should let it be what it is - a very simple activity. Running has become too complicated for many people and they wind up turning sour on the sport, or losing the focus of their direction.
