In the Hierarchy of Runs

There are Good Runs and Great Runs...
Then there are Bad Runs, and Demoralizing Runs...

In the span of a running career as short as mine, it amazes me how many Demoralizing Runs one can have. And yet, I wonder, why it is that I keep going back to it. Is it some strange form of masochism? Or is it for that rare, yet highly satisfying feeling of a Great Run? I guess that’s one of those things that I’ll always wonder about, but never know...that is, until I finally dredge up the discipline to run on a daily basis...
