Listen To Your Body. Do Not Be

Happiness Is Different From Pleasure. Happiness Has Something To Do With Struggling And Enduring And Accomplishing.

Like Everyone Else, I Want To Be Challenged. I Want To Find Out Whether Or Not I Am A Coward. I Want To See How Much Effort I Can Put Out . . . What I Can Endure . . . If I Measure Up. Running Allows That.

Play Is Where Life Lives

No Matter How Old I Get, The Race Remains One Of Life's Most Rewarding Experiences. My Times Become Slower And Slower, But The Experience Of The Race Is Unchanged: Each Race A Drama, Each Race A Challenge, Each Race Stretching Me In One Way Or Another, And Each Race Telling Me More About Myself And Others.

Do Not Tell Me What To Do, Tell Me What You Do. Do Not Tell Me What Is Good For Me, Tell Me What Is Good For You. If, At The Same Time, You Reveal The You In Me, If You Become A Mirror To My Inner Self, Then You Have Made A Reader And A Friend.
