Yup, This Quote Sums it Up

Everyday I receive my "daily kick in the butt" from Runners World Magazine through my email.  I read them everyday and sometimes I like the quotes and other times they don't do much for me.  This is the quote I got today and this one I thought was a really good one!  It sort of sums up why I put myself through this torture......I am sure many of you feel the same way! In the midst of regular life, running is the touchstone that breathes adventure into my soul. I can feel the trail under my feet, the press of the hill, the gallop of the track, the burn of my lungs, the stir of wonder and possibility. Running reminds me that there is more to me than what is readily apparent much of the time. I don't always need to see it, but oh how I need to know it's there. Like having an alter ego, or a super-cool super-hero identity. Kristin Armstrong, Author and runner
