This is so beautiful! Can't tell you how many times I've thought this very thing while running. I think about my Mom dying so young, I think of people whose legs don't work. And I run harder!
This is so true. I think its part of what's great about being a 'runner.' It's not like being a trobone player, where you have to be pretty good to tell people you are one. If you go running today, you are a runner.
Running has taught me that we are capable of doing more than we ever imagined, that we can overcome huge obstacles, and that consistency pays off! Running is my sanity and my sanctuary.
