Whatever you may be missing right now - a person, a place, a feeling, maybe you are injured and missing running - whatever it is, have peace and take heart - remember that any goodbye makes room for a hello.

Because cycling is a repetitive front to back motion you never go side to side with your legs, the muscles and joints are really going to protect themselves when you have arthritis. So continually working on opening things up helps to alleviate pain.

I think I get used to, even addicted to, the feelings associated with the end of a long training run. I love feeling empty, clean, worn out, starving, and sweat-purged. I love the good ache of muscles that have done me proud. I love the way a cold beer tastes later that afternoon. I love the way my body feels light and sinewy.

I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .

Disappointment is a sticky one, because no one can steal contentment, joy, gratitude, or peace - we have to give it away.

Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.

To me, there is no greater way to achieve clarity than to run alone, or share miles with a trusted friend.
