Running is the scaffolding that holds my life together. We’ve been in a relationship since I was a young teenager. Yet, I feel embarrassed and ashamed to admit, I used to take running for granted. Previously, I didn’t give running the respect it deserves: I picked it up and dropped it off, as it suited me. And still, running is always there for me.
