“Train, Don’t Strain” and other thoughts to consider

Hills are speedwork in disguise. – Frank Shorter
You rarely regret the runs you do; you almost always regret the runs you skip. – Mark Remy

In the first half of a race, don’t be an idiot. In the second half, don’t be a wimp. – Scott Douglas
(Basically, Douglas’ whole ‘Little Red Book of Running’ belongs here)
It never always gets worse. – A common ultrarunning line. No idea who came up with it.

Hard days Hard, Easy day Easy is an interesting one to put in there after your last blog. I know what it means, just thought it was ironic. Be process oriented, not outcome oriented is my favorite, but also misleading. Process and outcomes are directly related.
