When I run my life makes sense. With every heel-strike the outer shell of worries and cares of life are broken down and torn away until all that remains is me: more polished, more refined. I am often enveloped by darkness,  beaten by rain and held in the clutches of a mighty wind. That is when the refining process slips into it's highest level. At this climax of difficulty I find myself unable to continue so I set a goal to reach in the distance. A telephone pole. A mailbox. A turn in the road. Upon reaching that goal I set a further one until I've completed my run.

Running is instant improvement. Whether you're running a 5k or an Ultramarathon. Whether you're running one mile or 15, it will always be painful. It will always push you. But the moment you head out the door to run      is the moment you begin closing the gap between the person you were and the person you have the potential to become.


I wish there was some kind of job I could get where I just went around telling everyone the benefits of running. It changes lives.

Cool runnings everyone!
