I came across this tribal runner website after a most challenging run. The coach calls "the hardest run of the season", and that my friends, felt like it. I ran for about an hour and twenty-five minutes with a 30 second break in between each mile. It was probably under 5 or 6 miles all done in zone 4 and 5. Pace wise I am still very slow, endurance wise, I'm building on it slowly but surely.
All I know is that I felt this run in every inch of my body and found inspiration in this:
"I see you most mornings. Sometimes by the park. Sometimes the bridge.
We run the same course but in opposite directions.
We run the same course but in opposite directions.
We have never spoken. I do not know your name. I do not know what you do for a living.
I do not know what car you drive. I do not know your favorite color, song, or movie.
I do not know what car you drive. I do not know your favorite color, song, or movie.
Instead I know this…
You do not let the cold weather keep you from running.
You do not let the summer heat deter you. You will run in rain when you have to.
You set your own pace. You stick to it. You are not in a hurry. But you will not be held back.
You are focused. You are determined. You have a goal and you are going to meet it.
And when you’ve finished your run you will feel better for having completed another step on the journey.
You do not let the summer heat deter you. You will run in rain when you have to.
You set your own pace. You stick to it. You are not in a hurry. But you will not be held back.
You are focused. You are determined. You have a goal and you are going to meet it.
And when you’ve finished your run you will feel better for having completed another step on the journey.
You are a runner.
You are not alone.
The tribe salutes you."
