Status Updates From This Is Not About Running: ...

may actually dnf this (and not due to the various disturbing events, which I was well aware of), which is...baffling and completely unexpected??? i pre-ordered this! i thought i had a huge amount of respect for mary cain.

getting a stress fracture and your coach telling you it's not real is a canon event i fear

I wonder how much better these girls would run if they weren’t scared of disappointing their parents. Choosing to run seems much healthier than being made to because your parents are projecting their own dreams onto you. I wonder how much better they’d run if they weren’t racing for their parents’ love.

I’m driven by winning, but wins don’t always mean getting first place.

Wanting to win doesn’t mean I think that I’m better than the other people in the race. It just means I want to win. It is really weird to me that they don’t get that.
