Motivation to run farther and faster is a lot harder to come by on the trail because you are alone. If you are road running and stop, people are going to see you. That’s kind of why I like trail running more than road running, it’s mentally tougher.

I like the “choose” one a lot! You are Choosing to be out there, Choosing to run for yourself, Choosing to do whatever workout. Yes, I like this.
