I’ve struggled with these same tensions. Pretend to be balanced but imbalanced. Pretend to be at ease but irate inside. Pretend to be calm but intense. Finding also that both can coexist just like you write here. In the end it’s who we are. This was great.
You’re great at drawing out the intense psychological/emotional elements of running. And frankly that’s what I’m all about digesting these days. In an attempt to better understand why so many ultrarunners have so much pain in their past, and how they have coped and moved forward… through their running 💨
This is such a brave and beautiful share, and a really good reminder to not take everything we see on the internet as truth - but to also not be afraid of examining our current ways of thinking. Thank you for this. ❤️
