Hooked

If it feels good, try to remember how you did it.

James Kelly

Hey, ever talk to someone after their first half marathon? They are so stoked. You can hardly stand the bright light shining form their eyes. What would you give to get that innocence back? Really, you shouldn't have to give anything. That's the thing with endurance sports. Every day is a new day, every race has its own set of rules, every time you set out to challenge yourself you should get that feeling. The day you don't get a rush of adrenaline at the start line or at least one moment of doubt, that will be the day you give up the sport. Because that will be the day that the effort will be meaningless and there would be nothing for you to gain by continuing.

I for one, hope that day never comes.
