An amazing thing has happened to me – I’ve started running and I love it! Truly I never dreamed that saying “I’m going for my run now” would ever be a part of my vocabulary! And at the risk of sounding cliché, I do find running empowering.
I’ve got to thank some of the runners that I’ve interviewed – especially Dr. Saswata Roy, Peter O’Brien who started running ten years after his hip replacement, Luanne Kovacs and Marsha Coker who ran her first marathon at age 64! These runners, and really all of you who have shared your running stories, are so inspirational to me. I’ve got to also credit my daughter Allison, who is 21 and a new runner herself. She encourages me so much and has shared basic tips about breathing and speed. Why did I think that speed had to be part of this equation?
