Sweltering heat and bitter cold are both realy bad, but the bitter cold is tougher for me, because of breathing. When it’s really warm I don’t have that.

The best feeling about running is that feeling when you just can’t stop and it all seems to be so easy…

As I always say, every step you take is one step further from the house. Find another hobby. 🙂
