Run for thought

Dear bloggie,

And interesting question:

"What is the greatest praise a long distance runner can be given?"

Now, now, I bet I can guess the 1st thing tat comes into ur mind

"Fastest?"

After all, the whole purpose of running ur body, mind and heart out is to cross the finish line 1st noes?

There's another rather interesting answer for this question... It's "Strong". Strong!!?? Well, while the ultimate goal of running is to cross the finish line, is it not the story of the journey that we undertake to end which make running such an amazing thing? "Strong" enough to finish the race despite whatever odds stack against a runner... Let it be physical, mental or matter of the heart barrier...
