They say you should have a mantra when you run. Something you can chant and repeat when the going is hard. And if you're coming back from a big break, let's be honest, the running is ALWAYS hard. Things are going great though. Little by little, bit by bit, today I ran 4.75 miles. During one of the more challenging portions of the run (there were so many, I'm not sure I could select the specific one) Lara Fabian's "I Will Love Again" came on my trusty old Nomad. Now, if you run, you know that your brain does whatever it can to fill the time and keep you from realizing what you're doing is completely insane. My brain, doing what it does best, decided that with a few simple changes in the lyrics, the song becomes a mantra. I just want you to know, old busted Achilles tendon - "I will run again. Even if it takes a lifetime to get over you, I will run again, stronger than before."
