Huge Pain
A bunch of years ago I was doing a neighborhood run with BB Betsy. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the metal ring on the ground that sent me sprawling when my foot stepped on a section of it flipping up the rest just so. Wotta pain. ¶Since then I’ve been more successful noticing and avoiding tripping hazards, many of which happen also to be wire rings. They’re always about 12” in diameter and on a sidewalk or roadside right where a hapless runner like me happens to run. Where exactly do they come from? I passed one last 3 weeks ago. “That’s from a hub cap,” said the guy I was with. !!! ¶For a professional information person like this university librarian, elusive answers are exasperating. But they can’t come unless you ask questions the right way of the right information sources. Np. In cases like these, the pain of it isn’t anyone’s grade. That’s good because knees heal; grades are forever.

The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.
--- Roger Bannister, first man to break the 4-minute mile barrier
Success rests in the having courage and endurance and, above all, the will to become the person you are, however peculiar that may be.
--- George Sheehan, American runner, physician and author of books on running
Maybe I’m a product of Wonder Woman comic books.
---Nina Kucsik, first “official” female runner in the Boston Marathon as well as first female winner in 3:10.
