Sorry but this has nothing to do with any of these articles. Out for a run today with my wife for a nice 8k run and I started thinking. Am I a runner or want to think that I am. What actually makes a runner. Living in Ontario Canada 40 minutes from the US border of Buffalo were we normally cross to do numerous runs in the US and Florida throughout the year. We where actually suppose to be leaving for Germany in the next couple of weeks to run the 3 Country Marathon. This would have been a destination run for us our second Marathon. Forgot to mention we started running 6 years ago and I just turned 61. Now everything ifs virtual and that is not the same. Standing in the slot waiting for the gun to go off is a great high. Maybe I'm just missing all of this. Comments appreciated.
Thanks -- Wanted to mention I am planning to run 9.11 miles on Friday to honor the people that lost their lives on that 9/11. Hoping my body co-operates.
Thanks for sharing words of wisdom from experienced runners! It's always a pleasure to read your emails. I want to share what happened during my run yesterday. One of my common routes I run near my house is a dirt road with multiple hills and rocks. I like the challenge of the hills but always worry about the uneven road and rocks. Unfortunately five miles into my run yesterday I tripped on a rock and skidded across the dirt road getting an impressive road rash. I had to walk it off for a bit but still finished my 8 miles!! The upsetting part was that I was making my best time yet. I had to get over that disappointment and focus on finishing the goal for the day.
