“Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.” – Oprah Winfrey

You can\’t run away from your problems, but often running can help you put your problems in the proper perspective. Brooke has always found joy in running – although sometimes joy is replaced by relief.

In Chapter 11, Brooke deals with some bad news by lacing up and hitting the Charlotte streets. She recalls what made running so essential to her – as well as the person who made it so.

So let’s keep reading. Here’s Chapter 11.

Remember, this is a shared experience. Your comments and suggestions at the end of each chapter will help us pick the best route so we can all end up back at Tall Clover Farms by the end of the book.

As always, the conversation starts here.
