I miss running. Feet on pavement and hot sun burning my skin.

The passion to run exists because it parallels life and has taught me this: the harder the process, the more beautiful the result.

It takes courage to do it, be a runner. We all found that out a long time ago. Because it’s about more than fatigue. It’s about pain, and dealing with it for a long time. And it’s about resolve.

The Dark Side of Distance Running - STRONG RUNNER CHICKS

When you think “female distance runner,” what image comes to mind? Thin? Lean? Wispy? Emaciated? Likely, the word “strong” doesn’t appear first in your head, if at all. Every time someone discovers that I’m an athlete, they’ll take their shot with a guess: Soccer player? Sprinter? Rower? Hurdler? Surely not a… cross country runner?! A look of surprise always hits

Treat your body like the engine that it is, and it will amaze you.

I used to hate running until I decided it was the best exercise out there.

Sometimes we forget that our shoes are nervous too. As runners, we have to propel our bodies to their max during the race, but our shoes… they have to carry us.

[u-n-spoken]

“When we run, we are already so exposed, often nearly naked, huffing and puffing, purified by the effort. Briefly removed from the defenses and secrets we maintain in so much of our lives, we feel less need to hide our private thoughts, loves, fears, and stresses. We share.”

— Amby Burfoot (via run-inthe-sun)
