Wisdom

Running is fan-f'ing-tastic! I know that not everyone loves running, but I am one of those people who actually enjoys it, and what's not to enjoy? It's easy to get home, toss off the day's stresses, put on some running shoes and shorts (shirt optional in this Chicago heat) and go for a nice relaxing run.

Training is a little different. Training requires a great amount of dedication and discipline. I do enjoy training, sometimes. My hats off to those (including tc) currently training for the 2006 Chicago Marathon.

Today I just want to share an old Chinese proverb, that I find applies to both life in general and training:

The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.
