“Run for 20 minutes and you’ll feel better. Run another 20 and you might feel tire. Add on 3 hours and you’ll hurt, but keep going and you’ll see and hear and smell and taste, the world with a vividness that will make your former life pale.”
– Scott Jurek
The above quote is by far one of my favorite quotes from the book, Eat and Run, by Scott Jurek. And it totally sums up the reason why I run marathons.
Today, was my first day of marathon training. I ran a short 3 mile run. I was relieved from the heat by a heavy rain.
So far it has rained a ton this summer. Hopefully it will stay mild.
good luck on your training!!! i love that quote
Thank you, Tiare! You should check out the book Eat and Run, by Scott Jurek. He runs Ultra marathons, and eats a vegan diet. The book has a variety of great recipes too.
Thank you for the recommendation!!! Buying it on amazon now!
What marathon are you training for? I’m training for my first in November — Richmond. Good luck w/your training!
I am training for the Marine Corps Marathon! Good luck with your training. I heard Richmond is an amazing race!
