No one's titanium.

'Shoot me down , but I wont burn , I am titanium.'

Bullshit.

You know next time your out , and you see a runner tiring , and by tiring , I mean looking like they'd rather be dead. What do you think? Idiot , they can just stop , can't they? Well you non educated delinquent , let me take you into her mind.

Imagine this , you were off too bake a cake , and you fancied not giving it the half shift for a change and went to M&S for your crap instead of Asda's smart price. You then go home and put heaps of effort and precision into the cake mix , when you take this thing out the oven , you expect it to be the dog's don't you? Yeah well imagine going into the oven to find , your cake burn't and overdone. Thats how she feels , she's put all the effort into her body with dedication to training and passion just to be rewarded with pain in her muscles and exausted lungs. That seems fair, not.

You know why she's tired? Yes , she may have just ran 10 miles , 100 miles for that matter it dosen't even matter. Her body's obviously shattered , but thats still only half the battle. Try this , find the heaviest thing you can find , like a car , and put it on your head. Thats the mental effect it has on you and i'm not even exaggerating. Theres two sides of a runners mind there's the dream and there's the reality. The dream , gives you all this bull about 'no pain no gain' and various other quotes you regret reading as at the time you feel they are trying to make you end yourself. Whereas the realitys like 'mate , your screwing your bones up and your lungs are shrinking on you , stop and walk , moronic bastard.'

You know your team are the best thing in the world , Together Everyone Acheives More right. Your team are like a big family that always know how to make you feel better , but sometimes your able to be cheered up , but when your in one of those moods when you've had an argument with your body and you don't want to talk to anyone , it can seem like they know how to make you feel worse. For example 'aw youve stopped early? That's not like you!' or 'You can do better than that' heres an idea , i'll swap lives with you for the remainder of the training session and i'll laugh as you run my little weakass body into the ground and we'll see if I can , you can only feel your own pain buddy.

I retweeted an absolute beast of a quote the other day , seemed like a good idea at the time but on a day like today I read it and think 'shite'. The quote said 'It is not how you feel on a good day. It is how you feel when your entire body is telling you to quit & you find a way to keep going.' Crap. When your whole body tells you to stop you stop , your running with your body , if it wants to stop it stops , if a car put on it's own breaks you wouldn't jump out and push would you. Okay what if we all abided to that , so we could be running around with a leg dangling from a threadlike peice of flesh as we continue in our venture to the finshing line , you first proffesor.

In conclusion , I am yet to meet a person that continues on after theire entire body tells them to stop , but when I do i'll shake their hand , if its still there I suppose. I'd like to finish on the note of , despite it's flaws , i'm still in love with a sport thats trying to kill me.
