About Sand and Shoe.
"It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out;
it's the grain of sand in your shoe. "
'Sandy' always 'fly and jump' into your shoes and socks. You might not feel the finer ones, but you certainly don't want to ignore the bigger ones. I always try to clear them away as soon as possible. If not, they will cause minor cuts or blisters that slow you down during the later part of your training run and race.
Most shoes should be replaced after running a combined distance of 500km in them. They could last till the 800km mark if you have a light-weight body, keep your shoes in a cool, dry and airy location, have other pairs to rotate for running, do not use them for any other activties, don't need to take a long walk to and fro your running routes, do not have pet dogs at home that bite your shoes to grind their teeth, you had paid a higher price for a pair of a reputable brand and hopefully they are of a better quality, the shoes had not been 'idling' in some stores for a few years before you bought them...

You've got a Good Attitude !
This is where you will win the battle
— in the PlayHouse of your Mind.
Ability is what you are capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.

Wisdom of George Sheehan 4
"Running has given me the chance to be a Saint,
to be a Hero.
Like everyone else, I want to be challenged.
I want to find out whether or not I am a coward.
I want to see how much effort I can put out . . .
what I can endure . . .
if I measure up.
Running allows that."
Wisdom of George Sheehan 3
"I run because I am an animal and a child, an Artist and a saint."
"Being an artist is, after all, only Seeing things as if for the First Time.
When we do, we see the Real Meaning of things,
the Solutions to our problems.
Running gives me that Creativity.
It provides the Meditative setting.
It Opens Up areas in my Mind I seem not to use otherwise."

Wisdom of George Sheehan 2
"Running makes me a Child,
a child at play.
That is the aim of life:
to become an adult
while remaining a child at heart.
Play is the key.
When we play,
we do things
because we want to,
without thought of payment.
Play is something we would do for nothing,
something that has meaning but no purpose.
When I run, I feel that.
For that hour a day,
I am a child finally
doing what I want to do
and enjoying it.
When I do,
I realize what happens to the body
is simply a bonus."
Wisdom of George Sheehan
"I run because
I am an Animal
and a child,
an artist
and a saint."
"I have that animal energy,
that ease of movement,
that good tight body,
that sense of occupying just the right amount of space.
I am pared down to bone and muscle.
My skin taut, my eyes clear, I become my body.
I occupy it with delight."
