A Runner’s Thoughts: “Struggling and suffering are the essence of a life worth living.

You're denying yourself an extraordinary trip.” (Dean Karnazes)

Living each day of our life is a sacred time when we have the opportunity to encounter the gift of God! (Adapted from Roger Joslin – Running the Spiritual Path)
