Magic Potion

Whatever gets you inspired, enthused, motivated, convinced so be it. You may believe  it's a shoe, a nutritional supplement, a wonder pill, and for that time you know or at least you think you have the ticket to success. Yet, on any given day you find what you had confidence in leaves you short and once again looking for the edge. In running, so in your own life, it is a trail ahead. All the tricks in the magician's hat lay before you and you grasp at what gets you just slightly farther on the journey. At the end of whatever day is left for you, it is simply the same place you started out, but now there is a past marker. Nothing but persistence, determination, and assurance carry you farther, and naturally doing the neccesary work. There is no forgiveness or being lucky with the final product. The past just reminds you of where you've been, and right now the marker you see is your start if you have drive to do the load. Face in the right direction and keep on moving forward.
