Gel Fortitude Running

If you consider yourself to be a runner, have you ever contemplated why you do it? If you do not consider yourself to be a runner, have you ever wondered why people run?

No matter whether you consider yourself to be a runner or not, it can be worth examining why you should run. If you already are a runner, then the following list may renew your drive to run. If you are not yet a runner, then the following list may make you into one. (You have been warned!)

I run for people.

• I run to set a good example for my children or grandchildren of taking care of one's health.
• I run to stay alive long enough to see my children or grandchildren graduate from college, get married, and start their own families.
• I run to raise funds for those less fortunate or afflicted by a disease that needs more research to find a cure.

I run for places.

• I run to visit more cities as I participate in races across my own country.
• I run to visit more cities around the world, each with its own exciting race and new things to teach me about how people live and how we are all alike.
• I run to raise funds for cities and countries devastated by wars, famines, and natural disasters.

I run for things.

• I run to get from my races their colorful technical shirts that I can wear with pride.
• I run to collect medals that I can wear at work right after a race and can hang with pride at home.
• I run to buy training gear that helps me to protect myself and helps me to improve my performance, so that I can run even more.

I run for experiences.

• I run to meet new people, see new places, and try new things.
• I run to experience new tests of my physical endurance.
• I run to stretch my mind, to experience new tests of my willpower, and to expand my mental fortitude.

Most of all, I run for joy and happiness!

• I run because running has to be one of the healthiest and fastest ways to trigger feelings of joy.
• I run because I love the feeling of being in a competitive race, surrounded by others who enjoy this feeling, too.
• I run because the joy of training for months for a race brings me long-term happiness like no other endeavour.

Fortitude $16.99 Behind the astonishing success of D-Day was the most sophisticated deception scheme ever devised. Its code name was "Fortitude," and its objective was to persuade the enemy that the long-awaited landings would take place in the Pas-de-Calais and that any attack in Normandy could be safely ignored. The Nazis relied on aerial reconnaissance, wireless intercepts, news from London-based diplomats, and reports from the Abwehr's extensive network of agents to predict the time and place of the Allied offensive, and much of this misinformation was helpfully supplied by Roger Hesketh's team of deception specialists, who coordinated the most complex conjuring trick of the century. The classified official history of the entire operation, written by Roger Hesketh as Allied counter-intelligence experts were gathering the evidence of what had been accomplished in early 1945, has at last been declassified and released. In Fortitude , the intricate details of this fantastic diversionary scheme are disclosed with the type of immediacy that can only come from first-hand material. "An outstanding history of the most successful deception campaign in history...a must read." (Alan Gropman, The Washington Times ) "An authentic study, by a fully informed expert, of a subject once deadly secret." ( The Times , London)
