Striving For Better But Not Losing Sight Of The Purpose

When it comes down to it I have a strange definition of “easy run”. The reality of it is that I just have this drive to always do better, to try harder. I know perfectly well that I won’t be winning any races in the foreseeable future, but like in most things I do I know I can always do better.

I run not just to get better at running, but because I know that it helps me focus on the things that matter, like my family and my relationships. I run because I hope that it inspires others. I run so that I can motivate others to support bringing clean water to those in Africa that so desperately need it.

    Yes, I Did Also Run On Monday
