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.

Relax. You will become an adult. You will figure out your career. You will find someone who loves you. You have a whole lifetime; time takes time.

Tfw you're running & listening to music and you're running so fast that the music sounds slower than reality bc you're Marty McFly

This place never ceases to amaze me, even with just a two day visit.

As we boarded the bus for the conference meet, my coach handed each of us a small envelope with a letter inside.

“Dear Nathan, You have blown my expectations out of the water every race so it’s hard for me to give you advice. Know that you have put the time in so you are in the best shape of the season. Any injury will quickly dissipate when you put on your singlet. Over achieve one more time.”

Needless to say, I am truly thankful for this running program.

Mind over whatever.

I’m not saying being a runner makes you better than anyone else. But one thing is for sure. Running makes you different. You begin to understand the connection between your feet and the ground. You start to believe in the beauty of unfiltered conversation. You learn that you have to face your deepest demons on 10 mile runs when no one else is around. You become the wind. You love to high five your rivals, the people who just beat you. You learn that your mind and body must coexist in a healthy relationship. So no, running does not make you special. But it sure as hell wakes you up.

You are where you are because of who you were, but where you go depends entirely on who you CHOOSE to be.

I let them believe they were helping me, but little did they know that I have been helping myself for a very long time. When you’re on your own enough, you discover how to save yourself.
