Like many runners, I do the work because I can, and there is honor in that. Honoring my body, honoring the sport. Honoring my family that allows me to train endlessly on weekends when I could/should be attending basketball games, socializing with my book group, planning and making elaborate “clean” meals, sleeping in with my spouse, running errands . . . Honoring the human body by moving through nature as it is meant to do.
