Feb. 6, 2011, Do the Distance, originally uploaded by RobinJP.

Central Arizona Project canals snake through Phoenix. These are great running paths in the winter. Hot ones in the summer.

As I ran along this path today, I remembered the words of a good friend and runner who always coached me: “Nevermind the speed, do the distance.”

This photo is one in my 2011 One a Day photo project which I display on Flickr/RobinJP.
