"I think many writers are often a near-crippling combination of insecurity and narcissism, and part of the problem with being a writer is that it feeds both: You're only as good as your next assignment. And sometimes it feels like those assignments are in so many ways out of your control: A source won't talk to you, or a meeting doesn't go as planned, or your editor doesn't like your argument, or it's just not coming together; there are a million ways writing an article can go wrong. But running is, often, the total opposite. When you set specific goals for yourself as a runner, there's a tangible, realistic way of fulfilling them, step by step." | jennydeluxe

Doree nails it, 100 percent. This is exactly why I run and do hot yoga.
