The one where I skip stuff: Runfessions September 2019
I usually try to refrain from the "ohmygosh it's already _____" statements. But ohmygosh I can't believe September is almost over.

I was listening to a talk this morning and they shared this quote from Albert Einstein: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

Are you crutching?
Crutching, yes, I totally made up a word: reliance on a crutch. Runners can have many crutches, and it's the rare runner that has no crutch at all.

What if you ran like an elite?
Obviously most of us are not going to be paid to run or earn a lot (or any, most likely) money running and racing. I think we could still all learn a lot from how elites run. If you've ever watched an elite runner, you probably marveled at how effortless they make running fast look. … Continue reading What if you ran like an elite?
