Running and Life

These are some of the lessons I have learned from my running:

1. If you want a runner's body, you have to run.
2. There is never enough downhill on a long run.
3. There is never enough shade on a hot day.
4. Shade and downhill are almost as good as a drink of water during a long run on a hot day.
5. It is easier to tell when the wind is in your face than when it is at your back.
6. You cannot fake sweat.
7. You never accidentally run a marathon.
8. You should never make any final decisions about your running program during the last three miles of a marathon.

So, running is like life. I'll let you see your own parallels.
