Week 9 - The week I need the inspiration
"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."
-Oprah Winfrey
This week I am back on the horse, sort of. I am still having pain issues, which is resulting in some difficulty. I sat for an hour with the phone number of the physiotherapist on my phone terrified to press send. Well now I have a goal for next week.
As running becomes part of my routine it is still tough and some days I really need a boost, hence the fact that I have decided to dedicate this post to inspirational quotes. Besides that great quote from Lady O, here are a few more of my favorites:
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher, Canadian marathon runner
"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
-John Bingham
"Remember that the feeling that you get from a good run is far better than the feeling that you get from sitting on the couch wishing you were running." - Sarah Condor
"If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it." - Pricilla Welsh
"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run." - Another great one from John Bingham
And one more:
Have a great week! I'm heading out for a 16k!
