One year ago this month, I ran the MCM 10K. I had planned to run-walk it, and ended up running the whole thing, in a downpour, without dying. It was hard and joyful, and was the moment I decided I could be a runner. I decided to be the kind of person who gets up and gets it done every morning. This morning, I ran the virtual MCM 10K (thanks, Covid), and celebrated a year of better health, better mental health, and a lot of fun.
