What Can You Do in Thirty-Five Minutes?
I gave up regular running when I lost my job in 2011. It was too painful. I would start out and then turn back and walk home in tears. Running (and then coaching running) had been my life for thirty years. The last race I ran competitively was a 5K in 2012 at NHTI. I ran 21:13 and remember thinking that time was so very slow. I was an avid CrossFitter by then and running was just a supplemental piece of training for me.
