"Even purely recreational runners can come to know what racers know: that the most enjoyable times in running come when you are teetering on the edge of fatigue but hang on a moment longer, and a moment longer, and at some point discover not only that you can bear it but that you can even pick it up a bit. That is the greatest thrill in endurance athletics – a greater thrill, even, than winning. And it is available to the totally non-competitive runner, so long as you're willing to avail yourself to the opportunity – the freedom – to experiment with levels of fatigue."

I know you are there, so why can’t you see? That when I need you the most you are not there for me? I need you! I don’t want advice, all I want is someone who will listen to me! Someone who will hug me tight and tell me that everything is gonna be okay. Someone who will help me get through the night.

Hi, I hope that this isn't too much to ask, but please pray for my family, and also for my parent's relation. I've already seen my mom and my dad getting divorced, and I just don't want the story to repeat itself again with my Step Father. So please, please, please, pray for us.
