I immediately remembered my brother when I saw this quote.

It doesn't matter what your age is, if you put the time in, you're going to get out what you put into it. I strongly believe that. I feel that good things will happen if you work hard.

During the first few days that my knee was aching, he approached me and said, "Ate, do you think you should have started running years earlier? I was thinking: maybe your body can't bear the impact that you're giving it."

I patiently told him that it's not in the age - it's just me, and how I'm still learning the ropes of running.

With this running quote in mind, I know I'll get through any injury - and any challenges.
