"Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful or joyful."
In running, there is nothing superfluous. Every moment, each movement serves a purpose. It is all useful, beautiful and joyful... all constructive. Every run brings me closer to the vision of who I can be, every step makes me stronger, every day brings a victory, every mile a shout that says 'I can... I am... I will...'.
In training there is purpose, there is vision, there is hope... and faith, courage, determination, focus, patience, investment... there is now and tomorrow, and a forgiveness of yesterday.
If my life were a big, long run... I would be a wise woman... I would not have to pause to ask myself how to live according to this mantra.
