Dear Doubt,

I’m going to kick your ass today.

I want you to know that.

And I want you to know that ahead of time.

Because I want you to be ready.

So please plan on bringing everything you got.

Bring the hurt.

Bring the shortness of breath.

Bring the dead legs.

Bring your hills and your cracked sidewalks and your roots and rocks littering the trail.

Bring it all.

I may not have been ready for you before.

But I’m ready now.

I know you.

I know all your games and tricks.

You’ll try to tell me I’m too lazy to run.

You’ll tell me I’m too weak to be strong.

You’ll tell me I’m too slow to be fast.

You'll tell me I'm not good enough.

You’ll tell me that I’m never going to get better.

You’ll remind me it’s raining and cold.

Or is it hot and humid?

Keep talking.

It doesn’t matter.

So go on and tell me that running is punishment.

Just let me tell you something.

I’ll always be good enough to try and get better.

And I’m not running to punish myself.

I’m running to punish you.

Cheers,

Runner

Coach Chris Bennett.

Great post!!!

You've sent the Gremlins on their way

As all these thoughts you share,

But these are sneaky little pests

A runner should beware.

There never should be hurt or pain

Your breathing should be steady.

By taking these runs gently and slow

For each week you'll be ready.

Although the tracks go up and down,

With soggy or parched earth,

You'll make your way, with steady pace

You know your own self worth.

Run for pleasure, not to punish,

Each run will make you stronger

In this way as the weeks evolve

You'll run further and run longer!

So run with joy, run with a smile,

To your body, always be kind

Finding your very own happy pace,

Leave care and stress behind.

Go You!!!
