You’re damn right we are! I got up this morning and went to the track at 5:30 am with my training partner. We ran 800’s, 400’s and 200’s. We cooled down,stretched and then told each other what a great workout we had. This mind you, coming from the same two people that just an hour prior to this,were whining and moaning about doing track workouts. I ask you,is that special, or is that special?
The amazing thing is there were 20 other people there without being pushed or prodded or nagged into it. We did it without the hope of getting a $97 million dollar contract extension. In fact, a few months down the road, we will probably pay $100 to enter a race, $500 dollars each for travel expenses and another $200 for a hotel in order to run 26.2 miles. Again I ask, is that special or is that special?
You’re damn right it is. We run because we love it. We run because at the finish of whatever race and whatever distance, we still get the exact same feeling we got the very first time we crossed that finish line. A sense of elation, joy and accomplishment. The feeling of comraderie that is shared by everyone in our great sport, no matter if your elite, age grouper, experienced vet or first timer. So I ask again, Is that special, or is that special.
You’re Damn Right it is!
Be Healthy, Train Smart, Have Fun
