Running Alongside Grief | Tracksmith
Running is a form of practiced stoicism. It means teaching your brain and body to be biomechanically comfortable in a state of disrepair.
Matthew Inman • the Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances (The Oatmeal Book 5) the Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances
Yet the fundamental loss remains—it doesn’t just dissipate—and, in a strange way, I think it can become a magnet for other losses. We come to see we are all simply creatures carrying around our ever-deepening loss. Small griefs seem to collect around the bigger primary grief. I think this realization allows us to become a true human being.

being a lifelong runner means making friends with your own fragility.
