Running can be your most simple relationship if you let it. It will give you the truth, even on days when the truth hurts. But other days the truth is SO awesome you have to stare at the watch a few times just to make sure it’s actually THAT awesome.
So let your relationship with running stay simple. Don’t let your head over-complicate things. Don’t fight it, relax to run fast. Don’t doubt, don’t believe your brain when it says “this hurts…I’m done.”
Running. Can you handle THAT much honest?? 😉

Love that little cartoon – especially the one about running not talking behind your back – so true!!
got something to say…say it to my face! 😉 lol
Love this! Except track totally does mind games 😉
Thanks and I’ll tell you a secret…I was TORN with using that tagline for the track for just what you said!! I kept on there because in the end I thought, the track will only play mind games with you if you let it. Don’t let that bugger get in your head and intimidate you from reaching your goals. 😉
I love that little comic strip… especially the last one. Running is brutally honest and I have to remember the mind games really are all in my head.
I think the track sometimes does play games, though. Sometimes it just looks like a long ways around. Or is that in my head?? 🙂
oh, the track will play games if your LET it…it’s all in the mind, don’t let the track mess your brain!! hehe
