Thoughts from the hippie...

I LOVE running. For me, I don't run because I think I have to for a form of exercise, it actually feels like more of a hobby, something that make my days so much happier. Lately my runs are generally between 70-95 minutes and I hope to increase that to regular 120 minute runs by the end of March. Here are a few of my favourite running quotes. I especially love the last one, it speaks so loudly to me :)

"The truth is you can always run faster ... sometimes the truth hurts."

"Running is a gift I give myself almost every day. Even on those days when things haven't gone great, I can come home and give myself the accomplishment of a 30 or 40 minute fun."

"Whatever the pace, run softly, run tall."

"What the years have shown me is that running clarifies the thinking process as well as purifies the body. I think best - most broadly and fully - when I am running."

"The less you cheat, the more dramatic the effects will be."

"You can take anything away from me ... just don't take my running."

"Running distils life down to its basic elements... when I am out running everything is simple ... totally living in the moment ... it's a very pure experience."
