Wow T! I have said before that I really appreciate how you write and share stories with us to inspire us. You have really nailed this one more than ever. This is a great way to bring the good things Havey said and boil them down for us into clearly discernible parts.

Thank you so much for this email and the great picture it paints for us. I know we all have our own stories to tell and different challenges. For me, this came at a really good time. (To be encouraged by itAnd I know that it is helpful far beyond the running community. Blessings.

This was a very interesting quote. He describes himself as "exploded" and in a "passive" state. He seems to have already told his body what to do and then waited for it to carry out what he had ordered. The end of a tough race can feel a bit like this sometimes. I sometimes tell myself just to make it one more mile and worry about the rest when I get there. Doing this at the end of each mile seems to work well if my mind is telling me to stop.

Thank you, Terrel! I love the part which says when your body tells you it's hurting and to slow down and rest, it might actually be in the process building new strength! I don't know about a 4 minute mile for me though..🤪
