Patience: We should all be more tortoiselike... remember: you're in it for the long run. Life is a marathon, not a sprint; pace yourself accordingly.
Balance: to achieve a deep, long-term contentment, it makes much more sense to find your balance point. moderation truly is the key. If your having fun, you've probably achieved balance.
Stotanism: the stotan is quietly self-sufficient. He accepts the challenges of training, injuries, races, and disappointments without complaining, because he understands that simply by keeping on, by sticking to the path he has chosen, he will get stronger and better.
Respect: There's mutual respect all runners feel for each other, they realize they've all been through essentially the same thing.
Humility: Fortunately, humility is a positive force. It teaches you that, even after a stumble, you can get up and start running again. If your'e lucky, maybe no one noticed. If they did, so What? Everyone stumbles at one time or another. It's the human condition.

Dino,
I am a big fan of stuff like this, thank you for sharing. I think it is important that we take the time to read this kind of stuff; it helps put things in to perspective at the most critical times.
Besides being a fitness beast you are also a philosopher. Nice!
