Inspired to Run
It’s nice when life imitates art. As I was working through final edits on my piece for Runner’s World (in the January 2013 issue of the magazine), I was also visiting family on the east coast. Each day I was able to carve out enough time for a solitary run around a small lake in western Pennsylvania. The light, dim by the low cloud ceiling, and fall colors, just on the edge of becoming vivid, provided ample distraction and motivation to continue taking laps. On the last round, I swung by the car, grabbed my little point-and-shoot camera, and spent the next half hour trying to capture the vibe.
