"For me, running is both exercise and a metaphor. Running day after day, piling up the races, bit by bit I raise the bar, and by clearing each level I elevate myself. At least thatâ€™s why Iâ€™ve put in the effort day after day: to raise my own level. Iâ€™m no great runner, by any means. Iâ€™m at an ordinary â€“ or perhaps more like mediocre â€“ level. But thatâ€™s not the point. The point is whether or not I improved over yesterday. In long-distance running the only opponent you have to beat is yourself, the way you used to be."

-- Haruki Murakami
