You can't expect to fix something

if the tools you've been using just don't work

Telling me to eat shit and die won't make me stop missing you...

I will do today what you won't, so I can do tomorrow what you can't.

The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start. –John Bingham

What distinguishes those of us at the starting line from those of us on the couch is that we learn through running to take what the days gives us, what our body will allow us, and what our will can tolerate. John Bingham

Games require skill. Running requires endurance, character, pride, physical strength, and mental toughness. Running is a test, not a game. A test of faith, belief, will, and trust in ones self. So hardcore that it needs a category all to itself to define the pain. When game players criticize, it's because they aren't willing to understand, not because they're stronger. Running is more than a sport; it's a lifestyle. If you have to ask us why we run, you'll never understand, so just accept. Jessica Propst

My Eyes Are Smiling

I prefer the dirt

every drop feels like the first

slapping my face

leaving scars

so it seems

second place is my place

scratching the paint with my moans

i remember losing

my eight millionth breath

the second our smiles met

path changers tip toe to my feet

look me in the eye

knock me to my knees

leave me there, please

i prefer the dirt over the breeze
