Crazy.  Obsessive.  Insane.  Addicted.   These are just some of the words people have used to describe me when they hear about my running.  I get that it is difficult to understand.  Why would anyone want wake up in the wee hours of the morning day after day, add stress to the body and fight through […]

    What a lovely post, S! Even as someone who has never been into running, I feel I can now understand what an amazing, personal experience this is for you. I'm so glad you have it!

    UGH. Would you STOP it? I ALWAYS cry at your posts. I think it's because you write with some authentic passion.

    My favorite line in this one: "In the beginning, he slowed down for me and as the years went by I slowed down for him."

    Thanks for giving us this glimpse into you. And keep running.ReplyCancel
