Running is my meditation.

     Sunday is my last big race for quite a while so I can get back to running for fun instead of for training.  I can't wait.  I am tired and achy, and worried about the high altitude at the start, not a good way to go into a race, but now is as good a time as any.  I will finish.

"A lot of people think they look slow, or fat, or sweaty. Don't let any of that stop you. Among runners, you are golden." Kara Goucher, two-time U.S. Olympian RUNNING TURNS ANY OPEN PLACE INTO MY CHAPEL "Running turns any open place into my chapel. The hour I spend each day as an ascetic, short of water and feeling the slight discomfort of genuine effort, provides me with the strength to know that I can live with less than the world would have me believe."
