A Runner's Heart

Every run is a different journey.  The other day I learned that if I started a run with a negative thought I would most likely found myself struggling through out. What started as "This is too hard!" would snowballed into "I can't. I'm going to quit." Good thing I ran next to someone who kept shouting positive words at my face. Stay with me! Keep pushing! Focus on your breath! Faster! Faster! Keep going! You are doing great. Swing your arms! Although I must admit I felt like I wanted to kill him somewhere between You are doing great! and Swing your arm! :-) A mental note to myself: no whining, focus, focus, focus! Applicable to all areas of life. I think my heart grow a tad bigger.
