On the Run
Sammy and I, we’re runners. Sometimes we get out there when it’s dark and rainy and congratulate ourselves for being HARD-CORE, BABY!; sometimes we groggily (and guiltily) text each other that maybe we should skip today’s run. Sometimes we gab our way around struggles and triumphs in our lives; sometimes there’s just the sound of breathing as we pull away and push to keep up, in a constant race against our own theory of comfortable.
We run together, we run by ourselves, we run with our families and friends. And this year, we’re both training for two big races: shorter in the spring, longer in the fall. It gives purpose to our miles, and makes the cold mornings an inch more bearable. Each week, we’ll be capping off our progress with a quick post. We’re ready to run! (And then, of course, go on delicious adventures!)
