Some shooting and flyfishing, a little running and an occasional beer or two and the bicycle, yeah there's that........
“To many afflicted fly fisherman, the green drake is as irresistible and habit forming as black jack, whiskey, or easy women.”

to become a better runner, you have to accept discomfort. when discomfort knocks on the front door, open it wide and let it in. greet it as an old friend. sit down, talk with it, let discomfort become your best friend. because progress doesn’t come easily, without work, without discomfort. you have to be willing to be best friends with being uncomfortable if you want to improve and want to succeed.
So very true and almost everyday.
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” Richard Bach
Those other sports? Many of them rely on circumstance. A better team than yours, bad refs, teammates who hog the ball. But running.. well the only real circumstance is you. All that can slow you do is your mind and what you are physically capable of. And I think that’s what makes it extraordinary.
Do you think you can handle this for 10 more seconds? …You can handle anything for 10 seconds. Then, you just start a new 10 seconds.
