It reminds me a of a quote ( from somebody somewhere ) that my local Parkrun has on it's notice board.

"You are not running to beat anybody - you are running to beat that voice in your head than wants you to stop" :)

OMG, Lump in throat (coughs!)

And I moan about me knees and calf muscles twinging!

What we [as a species] can achieve is truly remarkable, and anyone who thinks that 'I can't do it' needs to watch vids like this one.

I'm now going to suggest you watch 'running for my existence' on Youtube.

Thank you for sharing. This video is truly awesome and inspiring. Best wishes.
