Its totally motivating. At one point he says: Success is my only mother%$#ing option, failure's not Feet fail me not cause this maybe the only opportunity that I got anyway, it motivates me. And I like the swear, cause I'm usually feeling angry and sweary when I'm running. my favorite song ever to run to is “Lose Yourself” by Eminem. Its totally motivating. At one point he says:

I miss running and am really excited to get back into it. For some reason short runs are the worst for me, even though I know they will be over soon. I do think it is important to map out your journey. My other extremely nerdy method is to pretend that someone is videotaping my run for a documentary or something (LOL)... then I imagine up all the motivational remarks and commentary I would make to encourage others to run and feel as though walking or giving up would make all of my motivational comments to others seem irrelevant (even though I secretly know we could just edit that portion of the film). Whatever works right ;) Those seem like some pretty good methods. I miss running and am really excited to get back into it.

I usually only run for 30 minutes at a time but I'm looking to increase it. I'm scared because mentally it's hard for me to run for longer than that! I only recently realized how much of running is mental strength. Love this post! (glad I recommended it ;) ) it’s good to know that people who can run well also struggle with the inner voice.
