Runner’s Commandments

[Silverback]

1. Don’t be a whiner. Nobody likes a whiner, not even other whiners.
2. Walking out the door is often the toughest part of a run.
3. Don’t make running your life. Make it part of your life.
4. During group training runs, don’t let anyone run alone.
5. Keep promises, especially ones made to yourself.
6. When doing group runs, start on time no matter who’s missing.
7. The faster you are the less you should talk about your times.
8. Keep a quarter in your pocket. One day you’ll need to call for a ride.
9. Don’t compare yourself to other runners.
10. All runners are equal, some are just faster than others.
11. Keep in mind that the later in the day it gets, the more likely it is that you won’t run.
12. For a change of pace, get driven out and then run back.
13. If it was easy, everybody would be a runner.
14. When standing in starting lines, remind yourself how fortunate you are to be there.
15. Getting out of shape is much easier than getting into shape.
16. A bad day of running still beats a good day at work.
17. Talk like a runner. “Singletsâ€

Good post SB.

40. During training runs, let the slowest runner in the group set the pace.

Didn't quite apply at BN but in the civillian sector, I can see how it applies

26. The best runs sometimes come on days when you didn’t feel like running.

I procrastinate my runs pretty often. An easy thing to do when I'm the only one who will voluntarily go running... I usually end up searching the company for my motivation for an hour or so like this morning. But I found the fucker!
