After yesterday writing about what being a runner means to me, I wanted to take time this morning to write about an appreciation for my fellow runners who may not be training for races on the same schedule that I am. Who may not love track workouts as much as I do. Who may not be feeling 100%. Who have to drive to the track when I can jog over. But who come anyway. Who come for the camaraderie. Who come to support a fellow runner training for the "big race".
It is like being supportive in general--even with family. No one is always 100%. Sometimes we have bad days. Sometimes we have bad mornings. Sometimes something else happened. But we are always there. Whether it is for a "big race" in life or everyday things.
I know I have talked about being present for others. It matters in family. It matters in education. It matters as runners. All are important.
