Church of the Long Run

Sunday mornings are a time for reflection. In the congregation of runners, we often single out that day as the one where we too pay our penance. The Sunday long run becomes a weekly ritual where we allow for the time it takes. Whether in a group or solitude, we carve out the space necessary to participate in physical communion. One received only through prolonged effort. Done correctly, it’s a truly hypnotic, meditative experience built at the altar of another week's worth of showing up. For the runner, this is deliverance. This is church.
