Commitment

Hey peeps (1 follower), It's Patrick. I wanted to talk a bit about commitment after today's run. The most common comment I hear in any marathon conversation usually revolves around our long runs. People say, "Wow, I can't imagine running 18 miles...I can only do two!" I just want to point out that yes, those runs are tough. They take a lot out of you, and your weekend but it's not the hardest part about training. it's days like today.

Today was a crappy day in Boston. Raining in February: I am sure you can imagine. It's essentially the definition of a winter depression. It's days like today that you just want to stay inside and drink a beer on the couch but it's also days like this that prepare you properly for Patriot's Day.

It really sucks putting on the running gear, stepping outside when it's dark, cold and raining in order to get a 9 miler in. Days like today are what suck about training. It's days like today that I want you to think about next time you're in a conversation with a runner. It's days like today that define commitment to a cause and a goal. Support us for days like today.
