		<description><![CDATA[“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” (Henry Ford) The other day, as I sat writing at the giant community table at my local Starbucks, relatively oblivious to the outside world due to a pair of noise-canceling earbuds and an unhealthy proximity to my computer screen, a young boy plopped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The spirit of the runner cannot be broken. It is a spirit of strength. Of faith. Of community. Of resilience. Of justice. Of freedom. It knows no barriers of language or ethnicity or gender. It knows not nationality or politics or age. It is not limited to those who run, but extends to their husbands [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, running. Such a sage instructor it is. Running is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of my highly reflective, spandex-clad life. Running instructs me. It grows my confidence and fells my pride. It keeps me humble. It teaches me patience. It reveals my weaknesses. It builds my strength. It illustrates valuable truths in very tangible (and, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The great poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.” A running buddy then, if I may be so bold as to give a runner’s spin to the adage, is the masterpiece of the miles. Four days ago, I was talking to a new acquaintance about the business [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Actually, he said, “The only thing we have to fee-ah, is fee-ah itself.” It’s a pretty profound statement and, at opportune times, sounds nice to say (especially with a heavy East Coast accent). The thing is, it can be difficult in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, social media. For better or for worse, it pervades almost every area of modern life. And while I consider my runs sacred, inviolable, and not to be touched by the nuisance of real-time updates (other than mile splits, of course), it is interesting to wonder what it would look like if a marathoner provided [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goals are funny things. Far from being fixed and unchanging, they are shifty little objects, always bouncing around from one level to the next. There is undoubtedly a ranking system to the goal hierarchy—a daily objective, for instance, doesn’t quite carry the weight of a lifelong aspiration—but even the upper echelons are not secure.

There is no, “Excuse me, miss, I’m terribly sorry, but do you mind if I step in and destroy your hopes and dreams and bring the labor of the past five months all to [...]]]></description>
