Sometimes You've Got To Go Through Hell

Running Unites Us And Brings Us Together Because, In The Words Of The Great Bill Rogers, "we Sweat The Same. We Struggle The Same." Running Is A Simple, Primitive Act, And Therein Lays Its Power. For It Is One Of The Few Commonalities Left Between Us As A Human Race. Toeing The Starting Line Of A Marathon, Regardless Of The Language You Speak, The God You Worship Or The Color Of Your Skin, We All Stand As Equal. Perhaps The World Would Be A Better Place If More People Ran.

As Long As My Heart's Still In It, I'll Keep Going. If The Passion's There, Why Stop?... There'll Likely Be A Point Of Diminishing Returns, A Point Where My Strength Will Begin To Wane. Until Then, I'll Just Keep Plodding Onward, Putting One Foot In Front Of The Other To The Best Of My Ability. Smiling The Entire Time.

Sometimes You've Got To Go Through Hell To Get To Heaven.

We Have Killed Our Souls With Comfort Instead Of Seeking Fulfillment And Achievement.

I've Raced On All Seven Continents At Least Twice. I've Probably Run Thousands Of Races. But The Single Race That I'm Most Proud Is A 10k. Yes, A 10k. I Ran It With My Daughter On Her 10th Birthday.
