Morning Running

Finally got the mattress of my back this morning.  It was cold.  I didn't eat anything before and had no energy.  It hurt and I wanted to walk several times but this quote kept me going:

The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed.
