Thanks for the motivation, even though I am reading this on a Friday. It still is helpful! I tend to vacillate between comfort zone and non-comfort zone. I do find myself (especially in winter when it's dark) running the same route, at about the same pace, every time. Then sometimes I do a speed work or a different route and it just feels great, even though it's challenging. I need to remember that feeling and get out of my zone more often!

That last one is so great that I'm putting it on Facebook! Hysterical; love it!

Love the quotes - especially the first one. I continue to push myself out of my comfort zone - thanks in no small part to my running coach. It's hard but I like the results :)

Great quotes, thanks for sharing!
I felt I pushed hard for the first time in my last race as I tried to keep up with a girl a few metres ahead of me. Now I know I can do it I'll do it again.
I love the flying feeling - I've experienced that on some trail runs but only on the downhills so far!

Those are great quotes. I definitely hold myself back. I tell myself that I'm slow, that I'm not improving my times, that I'm not consistent enough, that I'm not "really" a runner. When I let all of that go, I surprise myself.

People who know me well say I get stuck in the comfort zone all the time! :-) But I'm being forced out of it now! So maybe I'll concentrate more on that later... Ha that one made me laugh too, thanks!

Loved the first quote from Pre. I feel like last year I pushed myself harder, but this year it has been harder for me to do so. I think that overtime I will push myself more, but I keep thinking I will injure myself again. I need to stop holding myself back so much! Hopefully it is just a mental thing that will eventually go away.

Love the quotes! Now I'm going to have to hunt for the source of the second one through my many texts by Aristotle... I want to know in which one he calls humans featherless bipeds!

Love these quotes!! I can so relate to the first one! Seeing a lot of people from my running group this weekend I was reminded that I need to start pushing myself...get over my fear of what might happen and strive for great!

This is great!! I love all of the quotes, especial...

This is great!! I love all of the quotes, especially the last one! Hehe! Thanks for the inspiration! I don't always love stepping out of my comfort zone, but sometimes it's necessary for improvement!

Love those quotes--all great ones! I am definitely pushing harder this year than I ever have, which feels really good at the age of 47! And my body is handling it beautifully. I have learned there's more in there than we all think and we just have to push to find it.
