While editing a manuscript, I came across this quote by Eric Liddell (actually, it’s a quote from the movie Chariots of Fire): ‘I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure.’

That’s not how I felt last night after completing 4k in 30 minutes. It felt more like punishment rather than pleasure. I’m a beginner as far as it goes for long distance running. I will say, that there is something that occurs somewhere between nine to ten minutes into a running routine where the body seems to subjugate itself to the will of the spirit. At that point it is a balance between endurance and perseverance.
