We have a love/hate relationship. I finally feel like I am in a place where I can run and enjoy it. I don't run because I have to (even though I am in the throes of marathon training). When it doesn't sound fun or I don't feel like running, I don't. I try not to feel guilty when I skip a run, but sometimes I do. For the most part running has led me back to myself. Above all else it has shown me that I am strong, mentally and physically. When things seem hard or out of control I think about what I have accomplished, a sub 2 half, a 20 mile run...marathons, triathlons! Those are hard. Sure, wanted to quit at times but in the end I finished. I did not quit. When life gets hard I don't give up. So go ahead, challenge me but you better know what you are up against. I am a runner and runners have heart, runners have guts, and runner have courage.
