Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
That’s the thing about running: your greatest runs are rarely measured by racing success. They are moments in time when running allows you to see how wonderful your life it.
Do the work. Do the analysis. But feel your run. Feel your race. Feel the joy that is running.
Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great.
Running has always been a relief and a sanctuary – something that makes me feel good, both physically and mentally. For me it’s not so much about the health benefits. Those are great, but I believe that the best thing about running is the joy it brings to life.
Racing is the fun part; it’s the reward of all the hard work.
We train together to make each other great.
The journey isn’t always perfect, but always worth taking.
