makenosound, quoting Michael Honey:
“I go for a run one or twice a week, on the hill behind our home. There are three decent uphill sections to get the heart pumping and corresponding downhills for contemplation of the mountains and all kinds of thinking. We think of doing our best as if it’s a singular act. But it isn’t about the heroic effort at the end. A minute’s sprint in a...
