A Run...Your Style

Did you ever do a run? Have you ever attempted a race?

Did you complete it? Or you drop out halfway? Or you never even start it at all?

If you did run, what is your style? Are you the "slow and steady, win the race" runner? Or you are the sprinter type who gives it all till you cross the finishing line?

Or you are someone who started too fast, only to lose steam halfway through it?

Or you are one that has difficulty starting, but get more and more gear up as you run?

When the going gets tough, when your physical body tells you that it cannot go on, what did you do? Is it a mind-over-body matter? Or you let your tiredness consumes the whole of you? What conversations go through your mind? Do you give in to the angel or the devil in your brain when it is crunch time?

If this is the last lap of the run, do you slack and slow down, or do you give it an additonal burst of energy to cross the finishing line in glory?

So what is your style?

Do you ever run?

Do you have a starting line for yourself, with the end point in your mind and within your sight?

Running is good for you. Run more often. Looking at the context of your post, I am assuming you're not only talking about 1 run. I guess running as with more sports need lots of practice and training. We definitely need appropriate training for whatever race we are taking part in.
Like you said, everyone has a different style/strategy. No right or wrong. What matters ultimately is your target. Do you want to finish the race or race within the best of your abilities?
