Ok, This may come as a shock but I'd like to be serious for a moment. I'm interested in hearing from other runners about the mental aspect of running. Admittedly, I find difficult to get out the door to run sometimes and my mind doesn't always help matters!
What got me thinking about this was Brendan Lunty`s guest column on Basil`s blog. Brendan mentioned how he loves to run:
- in the rain
- in the dark
- in the cold
- at the track
- in the city
There was more love going on than at a sixty`s hippy orgy!
Do not get me wrong, I do love running, just not how Brendan loves running. Am I alone?
So, my questions are these:
Do you find it easy to get out the door to do your training runs?
Do you experience mental ups and downs while you are on your training runs? During races?
Tell me the truth people! Tell me your experiences.
My journey of self-discovery and search for meaning in this mixed up world full of confusion and pain, etc, and so forth on my way to becoming an amazing human being who truly loves himself with all his heart.

Style critique please
Just to let you know, tomorrow morning a transcript of a big interview I did will be made public after extensive editing. It`s big, baby! I will post a link in the morning.
To keep things interesting, here are a couple video`s of my "unique" running style for all to critique. They were shot at the Sinister 7 relay this past July. The second one has the entire relay team running in with me for the highly lucrative race win. I am a professional.....
Any opinions on my running style? Critical comments? Fans? Haters? Fencesitters?
