I AM RUNNER, BUT YOU WON’T HEAR ME ROAR

by Elaine Gilmartin

Running is not so much what I do but who I am. I’ve scaled back somewhat, running just four days rather than six, running half-marathons now after completing 25 full precisely because I love running so much I want to make sure I can continue to do so until until the end of my life span.

I don’t run to impress you. I start my runs before the sun comes up to savor the solitude…
