“Running feels so good that I honestly can't believe it is also so good for me. It would be like if I found out Mud Slide Ice Cream also lowered cholesterol and increased muscle strength. It baffles the mind. In seriousness though, it is critical for my health and well-being and it connects me to so many memories in my life. It's a throughline for me.”
