That is true! I am pretty good though about not discussing running with non-runners. If they ask me about it, I keep my replies short vague. "My race was good. I finished. Training is going well." HOWEVER, when face to face with another runner...yeah, the running talk will not end and no detail is too small.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Relentless forward progress
What about in 90-100F and 75DP and do a LR of 20 miles?
Or running as a hurricane approaches Miami?
