“Running is kind of like a coffee. The first time you drink it you might not like it. It’s bitter and leaves a bad taste in your mouth but you kind of like the way it makes you feel.

Best part of my day is waking up to a run in the sun…then coffee

“Mindful running is the medicine which throws out all the negativity from mind and body.” ~ Invajy

This is true, I’m a much calmer peaceful person because of mindful running. It’s my time to dump out the negative and bring in the positive. Strenuous exercise gives your body no choice but to throw out what is not needed in your mind and body.

“Endurance is the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop.” Alex Hutchinson

For me this is just a battle between the mind and the body. Your mind wants you to quit but your body wants to keep going it’s your spirit that drives you to keep moving forward. This is what it means to dig deep.
