The long run

Guess what? I wasn’t talking about your weekly long run, but rather looking out into the future. Sure, focusing on the short-term goals can be alright, but when we hit a speed bump and can only see what’s happening right in front of us, it can be a real bummer.

Having the ability to look forward in not just running but life too can be a huge advantage. Imagine this: you’re kicking butt, building up that weekly mileage, when suddenly, a mysterious twinge pops up—uh oh, is this the start of another “injury saga”?

You could brush it off and power through, risking making things worse and missing out on even more running adventures down the road—been there, done that, right? But how about this for a plot twist: what if you hit pause, take a leisurely stroll back home, and find out that all you needed was a little extra rest? Next thing you know, you’re back in action, feeling like a million bucks in just a week!

So, which storyline speaks to you more?
