Turhan Jordan at Examiner.com breaks down what Star Wars can teach runners who want to strive for more...
"Yoda, Jedi Master of the famous Star Wars movies, once said, ?Fear is the path to the Darkside. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.?
This globally famous quote is very much applicable to runners and their training plan.
Wilmington runners and those throughout the State enjoy the comfort and camaraderie of hundreds of other runners. It?s never unusual to pass several runners while out for a morning, afternoon, or evening run. The unspoken bond of just seeing other people enjoying (or enduring) the same sport as you are, can be uplifting, encouraging and motivating.
But there?s also a ?Darkside? to running in such communities. Especially for novice runners or those a bit less experienced in formal training. It?s the temptation to do more, go further and over do it. It?s the ?fear? of being left behind, not meeting a goal, finishing last, or not ?looking? like the other runners mingling about."
Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
