Five Favs From a Year of Running Lightly

Hey, us. Look at us. We've grown so much.

Ope! Looks like we have some birthdays to celebrate! *noogies* Today is my big day and Running Lightly just turned one. While I’m a few years older than this project (fifty, to be precise), we have a lot in common and I can see us growing old together.

Show up to the party without a gift? Here’s an idea. Share Running Lightly with one person today (more is okay if you’re feeling generous). Thank you!

If you’ve been around for a while, you get it, and if you’re new here, you’ll see… Running Lightly is kind of ethereal. That’s a haughty way of saying I’m making it up as I go. What I know is, my relationship with the sport is deepening and I want to give life to the experience. Here’s what it seems to be today (subject to change):

Whatever this is and whatever it becomes, I hope my musings hit a mix of insightful, entertaining, and helpful. The creative process does that for me. It’s been a hoot so far, and I’m giddy to see what the next year brings.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite pieces from Year One.
