Luck is essential for any runner. Good weather can make any run fun. Nice road conditions help too. Good runners can push others to better performances. A similar analogy can be drawn in romance- good luck goes a long way in pulling people together. However one concatenation of unfavorable circumstances can undo a lot of hard work too.
"....It was delightful to have you two or three days at Washington. Blessed old fellow, you had a pretty hard time in college this fall; but it can't be helped, Ted; as one grows older the bitter and the sweet keep coming together. The only thing to do is to grin and bear it, to flinch as little as possible under the punishment, and to keep pegging steadily away until the luck turns."
Theodore Roosevelt (Letters to His Children, 1919)
