This month I’ve run every day, 11 days, four miles each day.
I’ve been following my pal Ed on Instagram, and he’s been running for 50 days straight, usually 10+ miles a day.
He’s doing it fast, sure, but it’s the heart that impresses me. He’ll repost some Instagram Stories from friends who’ve started to run, inspired by his journey.
He’s had to put his own oxygen mask on first (his wife passed away last June), before he could ever think of helping anyone else. The byproduct of “just” taking care of himself has put so much good out in the world, and dammit, at the end of that day that’s what so much of this is about.
