We voluntarily accept that we'll experience discomfort and yet we keep coming back for more. I've been in a race that was so horrible that I swore I'd never run it again. And then I did.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-37033834756603158432015-01-23T17:56:34.792-05:002015-01-23T17:56:34.792-05:00I truly enjoy a vast majority of my training runs,...I truly enjoy a vast majority of my training runs, and I'm always glad that I ran when it's done. The only time I question myself is during races. I haven't run many races, but I have yet to run one without reaching a point of saying that I'm never going to do this again. But when it's finally over, I'm glad that I did it.

I do the same thing in races, wishing I could trade places with the spectators while I'm pushing my HR Max to 95% and counting down the miles left to go.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, I do envy the people I see every morning running along the path parallel to the Cross Island Pkwy. In that case I'd much rather be running than driving to work.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-20468385195625821462015-01-23T17:08:47.055-05:002015-01-23T17:08:47.055-05:00Nice picture.

I thought this was going to be a magical post.<br /><br />I totally can relate to envying oneself and others. I do that mostly during races. I wish I could be me on the other side of that finish line. Sometimes while running around town I'm envious of the people in their cars or on their bicycles or eating.
