The long runs have started as I get ready for Boston. This is the toughest and most time consuming part of the training. This morning I ran in a group of 5 runners. They are always easier to do with others. It was 10 miles out and 10 miles back. Miles 5 to 15 were very hilly with miles 7 and 10 being mostly uphill. I got it done without too much trouble. 20 miles at about 7:25 per mile.
Sometimes life is like a long run. We all have events that provide us stress for long durations of time. They are hard when they are happening. Sometimes we want to quit or at least wish we were somewhere else in life. They also take a while to recover from. But they can also make us stronger: spiritually, mentally and physically.
When you are facing one of the long runs of life: know that you don't have to go through it alone and know that you will come out stronger.
