Run Toward Fear

So I was a little scared at the beginning of the run today. I was real stressed all week actually. To paraphrase the Gatorade commercial - was it in me? Almost halfway through I realized I could do it. I could go 15 miles. I just had to keep my legs moving. I did it.

I guess the best way to deal with fear is to run towards it.

Reminds me of one of my favorite books, the poet Haki Madhubuti's Run Toward Fear.
