I've had 3 pretty hard runs in the last 4 days and my legs were crying for some easy adaptation days by the end of today's run.
A friend sent me this quote this morning and it really resonated with me.
"I recall the day when I realized that I had become a runner because I had come to contentment in knowing, in deep honesty, that I wasn't running away from anything or toward anything, but was instead running WITH something. That day I felt from the soles of my feet straight through that I wasn't running through the forest; I was that part of the forest that was running. Just like that, today, I also see that I do not run to find meaning to life, but that instead the meaning of life runs through me." Joseph Campbell
