I refuse to surrender to the despair of the "voice" in my head who tells me to stop running fast because it hurts.
I refuse to conform to modern society that constantly tells us that easier is better.
I refuse to spend my life making money at the expense of my family and my health.
I refuse to stop running, ever.
I will fly on the trails, my feet nimble and connected to the Earth.
I will praise and encourage all who run, who by running, refuse to give up, to conform, to kneel
I will listen to the rhythmic breathing of my soul as I run and feel blessed to be alive
I will race, knowing that ignoring the "voice" that tells me to take it easy, to treat this race like a training run or that "it just wasn't my day" will mean that every day is MY DAY.
I will run, always.
