I am not a runner

I am not a runner. I don’t have a trophy rack full of race bibs and finisher’s medals.

I am not a runner. I don’t have PRs or any discernible running technique. I go out there and pound the pavement.

I am not a runner. I don’t have custom-fitted running shoes or fancy running clothes or athletic tape. I run in yoga pants and college hoodies.

I am not a runner. I don’t get runner’s high or look forward to runs. I dread every one and just try to survive.

But I run, and that’s enough for me.
