After a few days, Goodnough became bored with walking, and began running to make the time pass more quickly. As the weeks passed, she not only kept up her running, she began to increase her time and distance. Soon, she was hooked. Because of how I began, I've always associated running with prayer and meditation. But I also use the time to solve business dilemmas.
Answers sometimes come easier running than they do sitting at a desk.
Once her children got old enough to be alone in the house, Goodnough and her spouse began running together. They return in time to have breakfast with their children before preparing for work. We go that early because it is time we can have together as a couple that we don't have to take from our children or our jobs. I also find that when I'm running, I can hear the inner voice more clearly. My mind becomes more focused.
