I run for me.<\/p>\n
Not to compete with anyone.<\/p>\n
Not to be the fastest, the strongest, or the fittest. I run to be as fast, as strong and as fit as I can be.<\/p>\n
I’m not looking to beat anyone’s record. Nor win any races. I’m looking to push myself as far as I can go. To run as hard as I can run.<\/p>\n
I’m competing with myself.<\/p>\n
I run to get better. To keep pushing on when my lungs are screaming stop. To keep going when my legs feel like lead weights.<\/p>\n
To push my body further than it wants to go.<\/p>\n
To prove to myself that I can go that little bit faster, for that little bit longer.<\/p>\n
I run for that moment when I stop and I know I gave it everything.<\/p>\n
Some days everything is slower than others. Some days everything hurts more than others. Some days everything is fast and smooth and I feel like I flew the whole way and could do it again. Over and over again.<\/p>\n
Those are the days I run for. Those are the days I know I’m getting better. Those are the days when I know I can push that little bit harder next time.<\/p>\n
