Thanks for sharing, Julie.

If you don't mind me quoting Nietzsche, "He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how." I love this quote, and I think you demonstrated it beautifully in your story!

I had such a hard run yesterday with the chill and heavy winds so your post about running during difficult times hit me today. I am feeling much better and resting until Saturday to give my sore knee a rest. Mentally, I'll do it even in "heavy rain"! Maybe it will make the Boston Half Marathon conditions easier. XO

I'm happy to hear you are resting up and preparing mentally for Saturday. I find running is 90% of what we say to ourselves. Have fun!
