Summary

Whose heart doesn't leap at the sight of a beautifully conditioned runner, effortlessly gliding along, stride-by-stride, mile-by-mile? And what runner gets to this place without a thankless and often lonely regimen of strategy and self-denial? Isn't this the perfect metaphor of what your heart is longing for-running life's race with intentionality and grace? With strength and focus?
