joy

Through all the heartbreak and disappointment, our love is worth it. It’s worth the black toenails and quasi-permanent sunburn, and it’s worth having geriatric ankle joints. Our love is worth the 4 a.m. wake-ups and finding a partially consumed GU in nearly every load of laundry.  It’s almost worth all the foam rolling. 

Moderate alcohol consumption can bring joy to people who are able to enjoy it responsibly. And what’s the point of trail running – or anything else – if we aren’t experiencing joy?
