Bringing Enjoyment to My Running by Paul W

I recently read Running Within by Jerry Lynch and have now developed my "running statement." I have done this to build a more positive AND ENJOYABLE attitude toward running.  Approach Thought:  I have always considered myself a slow runner, but this just addresses competing against someone else.
