once a runner, always a runner





"You don't run against a bloody watch. Do you hear?? A runner runs against himself, against the best that's in him. Not  against a dead thing of wheels and pulleys. That's the way to be great, running against yourself. Against all the rotten mess in the world.. Against God. If you're good enough."

bill persons was a man who knew how to use his words. 
the awesome thing about cross country is that it never really goes away. something in you totally changes the moment you decide to walk out on the line for the first time. 
it changes everything from your once presentable feet, to your mindset. 

i'm running against myself. i'm my biggest hurdle. 
the only thing stopping me from reaching any of my goals in anything...is me.
