It was truly one of those runs where you don’t know where, but you are getting more and more energy with each step (and I needed one of those after the bad runs last week!) and you end up running way more than the time budget you had allowed yourself. In my case, I decided …
It’s become a habit when I come in from a run that my asthmatic lungs demand that I stretch out on the floor and stare at the ceiling for a couple of minutes. I learned early on in my life as a runner that I had to do this to give my heart and lungs …
There’s something about the preparation of running that gets my blood pumping and my muscles ready to run. It’s especially prevalent when I put on what I call real running gear because I feel more hardcore. The fit is better and I know that I am going to be able to move and not have …

There’s something about running beside water. I look out and see the reflecting light. I look out and see the man fishing. I look out and see the dog sniffing. I look out and see. My eyes are open to the people and the world that surrounds me and I can’t help but feel fuller …
As a woman runner, I’ve come to expect the occasional horn honks. It’s just a part of the experience if you have a ponytail apparently. Most of the time, I am able to suppress my feelings about the unfairness of this fact of life, but there’s one time when I simply can’t keep my mouth …
