Chapter 72: Prayer

Will I ever be free of stomach problems, poison oak, overtraining, knee injuries, and the thousand other obstacles that a runner must overcome?

Running isn’t a fulfillment; it’s a path. The deepest rewards come when we learn to find joy in all circumstances. There is no safe ledge on which the ego can rest complacently. Progress is unending. There’s always a more expanded place to grow into, a firmer will, a stronger heart, a deeper happiness.
