Marathon Runner Thoughts
Marathon Runner Thoughts
Many feel that runners have this weird quench for fatigue that can only be satisfied by pushing themselves past our pain threshold daily. This intense craving for the aching of their legs and burning of their lungs. And the most frustrating runs are the easy days, when they are forced to run within their comfort zone. It's no wonder people think we are insane. But we simply thrive off the post-workout sense of accomplishment and desire for self-improvement is their goal.
As for myself was a cross country runner in high school and understand how they feel

Indeed there is a different mindset. The instinct to jet off at a start from being a sprinter in high school was tempered greatly when I ran the LA Marathon.
Thanks for the glimpse into the psyche of a long distance “voyager”.

What a beautiful self-reflection, it was a love of passion when I ran in high-school, and then on a higher level to participate in marathon for pleasure and for several non-profit charities. One would never truly understand that runner's high that oneness with self, the release of such a beautiful, endorphins until you become a runner rather past, present, or something you will become in the future, a very nice write love
