Run because you are alive. Run because you are free to run. Never run away from problems, face them with dignity, justice and patience.
Today, ten years after the attacks on 9/11/01, I ran the Chicago Half Marathon ‘s 5k knowing that being an idealist is never in vain. If I could hope to show up to a 5k each month, working my way to completely running a full race, then I can hope for peace in this world. I can hope that we work harder as a global community to better understand one another.
