Running Lessons

Some life lessons that I've been learning while running.  =)

-One step in front of the other
-Self-talk is half the battle
-Have friends along your route
-Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right
-Press on
-Everything's easier if you're praising God while doing it
-Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses
-You'll be surprised by what you can do
-Be prepared to fend off obstacles along your path, from harmless mischievousness munchkins and pesky pets to legit creeps and, worst of all, your own self-doubt
- A crappy run's better than no run
-Remember to take time to rest and recuperate
-Some people'll think you're crazy for what you're doing; do it anyway
-Try new terrains
-Venture further than you think you can go
-Pace yourself
-Listen to the aches of your body; the pain's trying to tell you something
-Hope's just around the corner
-Celebrate your victories, no matter how small
-Forgive yourself
-Be friendly with those along your route
-Smile
-One step at a time
-At some point you might actually come to enjoy that which you once dreaded
-Sweat and tears aren't necessarily a bad thing
-Remember to breath
