We all have bad days and bad workouts, when running gets ugly, when split times seem slow, when you wonder why you started. It will pass.
The marathon never ceases to be a race of joy, a race of wonder.
How would you describe the worst run you ever had? Precious!
I finished a marathon.
I run, therefore I am. And given the years improved fitness adds to our lives, if I did not run, maybe I would no longer be.
Putting miles in your training log is like putting money in the bank. You begin to draw interest on it immediately.
