In the face of relentlessly bad and traumatizing news, self-care and goal-setting are more important than ever, so marathon training matters in that regard. I use my running to cope with the bad news. I don’t believe it’s escapist; it’s fortifying and calming. The other main thing, as a parent and partner, is do all you can to be loving to your loved ones and to strangers too. Spread kindness.
I really like how you connected the "running" part of my newsletter with the "everything not running" part. To be honest, I wasn't even aware that they are resonating so well with each other. But yes, you are right. Goal-Setting and consistency in training are mighty tools to not get lost in despair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
