Self-Doubt

I think of myself as a runner. I have run hundreds of events and thousands of miles. I have the right clothes, shoes and literature. But sometimes I question whether or not I am really a runner or just someone who wants to be one. I have set goals and achieved them - I ran the Boston Marathon for christsake! I will lace-up my shoes tomorrow morning and I will take Chico for a run. I will run to squelch self-doubt, I will run to feel good about my mental and physical health and I will run to see Chico at play. But most of all, I will run because I AM A RUNNER!!
