Many of us average types read lo...I love this post. Many of us average types read lots of running blogs, and lots of them espouse the overdone "if you believe it, you can do it" mindset. To me, that's troubling, because what if, well, you *can't* actually do it? Where are you then? Your post saying that the fruit of the labor is in the trying redeems the whole process, and frees us from failure as people (if not from failure at the goal, which OF COURSE is always a possibility).<br /><br />If it were a given that a particular goal could be accomplished, why would we bother to try?<br /><br />Best of luck this weekend! Thanks for your practical and realistic, yet still inspiring, blog.Terzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617301871875902162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644845182417610831.post-20027553290390227902011-09-29T11:40:49.674-06:002011-09-29T11:40:49.674-06:00Great blog!
