Everyone should have a physical activity they do regularly which acts as a metaphor for their attitude towards life. Running is an act of witnessing yourself constantly going forward, powered by your own strength, will and determination towards a finishing line which is nowhere in sight. A destination that you have to reach despite any pain that may try to afflict you, which you reassure yourself won't last forever, because it can't. You carry on and carry on, navigating any obstacles along the way before finally arriving at your goal with feelings of elation, because you've proved to yourself you could overcome the doubts and concerns you had had before setting off, and now have confirmed as a fact - that you do have what it takes to succeed after all.
And the reward for challenging yourself in this way is being endowed with even more strength, stamina, will power and belief to undertake an even greater challenge the next time. Whatever you invest in the accomplishment of your goal is returned to you, with interest!
