Running was the first place I was ever truly free. In college I had nothing. I ran everywhere...to class, to work, everywhere. Not because I was training. Because it was how I got through. And when you are sweating hard enough, it is easier to hide the tears.
This episode is about what happens when perimenopause threatens the one thing that has always been yours. The unpredictability nobody warns you about. The 7 minute mile days that make you feel alive. The quarter mile days where the freedom just is not there. And why that goes so much deeper than paces and miles.
Honolulu, December. I am going back.
