On yesterday morning’s first run on Sanibel Island, the pain kicked in big time at mile six, during a three-minute half-mile interval.
With Nationals and World’s looming, where i wanted to be and where i am are far apart.

Why do these things continue to happen?
Pain, injury, set backs.
Why?
The real reason – the one we never see – is the fact that we haven’t quit.
These challenges keep surfacing because we are still on the path to somewhere – a dream maybe.
Turn back, or quit, and none of these things are anything to worry about.

So weird and unexplainable.

And you?
PS. Congratulations to Ohio State University.

The challenge with progress is how to keep making it when we aren’t making progress. Temptations to quit are relentless, and insidiously small and powerful.
If we remember only one thing today let it be this – this too shall pass. But it will return tomorrow to try and defeat us again.
One day at a time.
We become an example or a warning by our daily routine.
