My heart is what pushes me when I want to give up. It wasn't a finish line that told me I'm a runner--it was one day when I was out running, with nobody cheering me on, no finish line medal waiting for me. It was one ordinary day, when my heart whispered in a quiet cheer, You are a runner.

Running is a kind of Truth Serum. It brutally strips away everything You put on and leaves You with only Yourself. The Runner on the road, hunched over or otherwise, knows something that the Passenger in the car doesn’t. Down to the core, the Runner knows who He is. The Runner has to. He’s so tired, who He is, is all that’s left.

Marc Parent [Who are You?, Runner’s World, June 2013]
