- that you CAN run more than ONE mile
- that you’re not doing this alone
- how great a new running path feels
- that you already knew a lot of runners
- that you actually want to run
- that you love company on some of your runs
- that you can afford to eat an extra serving
- that you need rest sometimes
- that blisters will heal and toe-nails will grow back
- that a bruised ego can turn into a lot of determination
- that the world gets smaller
- that you are not scared anymore
- that can, and sometimes even enjoy, running in the rain, the snow, a moonsoon
- that you know how to do this
- that you are inspiring everyone around you without even trying
…just some of the little glories of being a runner…
