Running Life Matters

Running Life Matters celebrates the community of runners—particularly lifelong runners—and the valuable life lessons, experiences, and insights running provides. Truly, there are as many runner perspectives and stories to tell about running as there are runners!

In addition to providing a variety of his thoughts about running and what running means to him, author Richard C. Goodwin Sr. has reached out to a select group of eleven friends, colleagues, and accomplished, experienced runners he knows, and has invited them to provide their thoughts, insights, and experiences, too. They have, and some of their memorable running experiences and running-life connections are featured here for you to enjoy! As you read about what running means to them, you are encouraged to reflect on what running means to you and the different ways running has influenced you on your life journey.
