perseverance...

"Faith resembles a difficult race.. the runner has her eyes on the winners prize & despite nagging temptations to slacken the pace, refuses to let up until she crosses the finish line, throwing off everything that hinders... a tough faith being a constant commitment to hang on and believe no matter what."

Damn you inspirational quotes! All you do is make me want to run all the more. Not that I cannot at the moment... Just that it is a lot smarter for me not to. Ugghhh... I hate being smart. Woah... I take that back. I'm not smart.

I was once told that it is more courageous to know when to stop than it is to keep pushing. Which, I have told every single one of my friends, every one of my athletes, and even people I don't know that well. But why on earth can I not take a dose of my own medicine?

I really, really want to run. I have not run in... well it feels like forever. But it has not been that long. I keep seeing things that make me want to run. Fast. And I am ready to. I am going to attack cross training. I am going to do all the little things. I am going to roll. And when I finally get to run... then we'll see what happens!

But I gotta have faith. Is it bad that the George Michael song started playing in my head? Haha....Oh George. I have to keep my eyes focused on what is ahead. I just need to keep going. Faith is believing it what you cannot always see. So here we go.

It is more courageous to know when to stop. But to keep going in alternative ways. Get it get it.

race day

step on that line. drive off it. and go. no regrets. fight the good fight. race the life out of your legs. but know you will live to run an race another day. there is always something more.
dig. dig deep. get those legs churning. fight for every position. get out there and kill the course.
know that when you collapse across that line, you have given everything. leave the course with nothing. you have given your all.
no regrets.
