Salute to Runners

As I rode this morning, I passed many joggers and runners across the eastern suburbs.  Covering distance on a road bike is one thing; pounding it out stride after stride is something altogether.

Regardless of aspiration, it requires personal hardiness.  For those who go the longer distances: half-marathons, marathons and ultra marathons, individual hardiness and resiliency are supercharged to push through the physical, mental and spiritual challenges over the course of the miles to be run.

Respect to those who persevere in and find personal satisfaction from the original human powered recreation.
