Runner Stories Wanted

Calling all runners! Your story is wanted!

I am intensely curious about your inner life. Three amazing women have shared their stories about “why they run”. Why do YOU run? Have there been “ah-ha” moments?

I started mining my running friends for stories, thinking that it would be so incredibly cool to have this collection of essays (is that what they are??) as a way to remember certain points in our lives. Running is so much more than the act of moving. It’s the will to get outside, the connection with other people, and sometimes the silence from the noise in our home. (Can you say CHILDREN?)

Check out the stories that have been collected thus far.

Becky Gray – Guilt

Jacqueline Garcia – Running with an Eating Disorder and Other Mental Illnesses

Jill Whitaker – The Mindful Runner

I’m thinking of my own “story”, and why I run. Well, I think I already know. I’ll save that for another post though, and send out this call to the amazing runners out there in the bloggy world.

Shoot me an email: Lara @ saturdaymorningzen.com and your story might just appear here as the next Guest Post!

Cheers to all in the deep darkness of December (well, it’s dark right now as I write this at 6 AM).

      Penny, I’m all for anyone finding their “church”. I’ve talking about my Church of the Long Run in other posts, and firmly believe that church is where the heart is. Write it!
