“My father, himself a dedicated runner, never told me how far I had to run or how...”
– Gretchen Rubin - The Happiness Project I’m enjoying this book. I particularly liked this line. The hardest part of the run (or the metaphor here of getting started) is getting started. However, once you step outside and are prepared to run the run itself becomes inevitable. The act of putting...
