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.

How would you describe the worst run you ever had? Precious!

It is not so much that I began to run, but that I continued.

What is the purpose of any one workout? Enjoyment? Improvement? Coach said so? Whatever, the hour you run often is the best hour of the day.

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.

I finished a marathon.

Putting miles in your training log is like putting money in the bank. You begin to draw interest on it immediately.
