fashion. It is not that I engage in verbal prayer while I run. (Although, on occasion, I might.) It is not enough to say that I pray while I run. It is, quite literally, that running has become prayer.

To state it simply: Running became prayer.

My desire is to pray always—to follow St. Paul’s admonition to “Pray without ceasing.”

If you walk toward Him, He comes to you running. MAHAMMAD

“Prayer is the desire to pray.”
