Great Quote About Running!

Rabbi Jared has come up with a great quote specifically about the sport of running:

"Running is perhaps the truest and most honest sport of them all. There are no lucky calls or breaks in running. Runners can't swing at a bad pitch and get the lucky hit, throw the "Hail Mary" pass to score the winning touchdown or heave the ball from half court to score the 3-pointer at the buzzer. Runners can't blame officials foor losing games and can't have another team member compensate for their inadequacies. Runners are ultimately alone and fully responsible for their sport. They know there is no short cut to getting or staying in shape. Most sports and games allow players to fall out of shape and yet are still able to compete. A runner who doesn't stay in shape simply cannot run at a competitive level. Everything in running is earned and nothing is given." -John Doyle

Neither Jared nor I have any idea who John Doyle is or was, but he certainly knew something about our sport.  Good luck to everyone tomorrow at the County Meet.  It's one of the best meets of the season.
