"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'"
- Peter Maher
I still have a hard time considering myself a runner... But I think every time I finish up a route I planned to do, the sense of accomplishment helps me go back out again, despite crappy times or cramping legs. I've started taking cell pics of the random pretty things I run across on my longer days, which doesn't help too much with my times, but helps me to remember the beauty of the trail.
"Run lard ass, run!"

| Little Pigs Eye Lake. what a random name. |

| I love this whole park. Found it by accident, but that's usually how it works for me. |

 |
| The lines... I like to run patterns through the shadows. Sometimes helps, sometimes makes it worse. |
 |
| Another route that I found by accident... Ran this during the summer in the crazy heat wave, and it took a lot of control to not go flying off those people's docks to cool off. |
 |
| Along the river. More than anything, I just wanted to take a break. |
 |
| And my fave part: the feast following a super long run :) |
I like these pictures a lot. And I DEFINITELY think of you as a runner! Well, a sporto for sure, but these days definitely a runner too! Hows the training going?
ReplyDeleteThanks!! The training is... well, it's going. Next race is in under a month. Eek! I hope you've been feeling well, or at least a little better every day!
