How Running and Staying Present Helps Maintain Balance During Painful Life Situations

As I sit next to my younger sister laying in her hospital bed, I can’t help but reflect on the bigger meaning of this all. When NW Dirt Churners contacted me and asked me to write an article about positive running, I jumped at the opportunity to promote my business and my
