“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going”
– Jim Ryun, former world record mile holder (3:51.1, record held for 8 years), University of Kansas athlete, and former United States Congressman
As it has been said, our Sport is every other sports punishment. We do not run because it is fun, we run because it is rewarding. If the act of running was fun, when you had a Barbeque you and your friends would run a 5k rather than play Football, Volleyball, or Frisbee. Running is rewarding because it gives you the opportunity to test the very limits of your mind, body, and most of all your heart. Running is not punishment to a runner because they are looking forward to the next chance they get to find out what they are truly made of!
