An uplifting reminder

After all my problems the last few weeks, I thought this quote from someone on the Runner's World forum was quite appropriate. It is in responce to a question asked about dealing with non-runner's comments about marathoning.....

As for the "it will hurt your knees", "that can't be healthy", "you are obsessive", and all the similar comments. To them I simply respond back with the fact that I would rather end this life crushed, drained and barely held together by modern medicine rather than having gone through it too scared to ever find my own limitations.
