Notes from A Running Writer's avatar

This is a fantastic article. I know the positive impact that running can have on people, and me as well. I wrote an article for a local newspaper about a Gwinnett County teacher suffering through deep grief and family issues. When she started running and entering races, her outlook and mental health improved dramatically.

Thank you, Jim! It was an honor to get to share Shannon’s story, and I think many runners can identify with different parts of his journey! Running can be a natural antidote to help us through difficult times — the teacher you wrote about sounds like a great example of that.
