I developed a staunch moral compass as a kid—at least when it came to running. I never cut switchbacks - until I raced across the Alps.

My mother used to keep me on a leash. It's not that she was one of "those" parents. It's that I was one of "those" kids.

Running is different things for different people. For me, it has always been the place where I have to be the most honest with myself.

Years ago, I created a new dating requirement: No More Runners. I think that is how I ended up dating older men. They have bad knees.
