Running After COVID-19

Grateful for every step after recovery — At first it was just a tickle in my throat. It was a minor annoyance, like clearing my throat wasn’t possible. That turned into a persistent cough that I couldn’t shake for a few days. Other than that, I felt fine. I went out for a 12-mile run despite the…

Letting Go of the Marathon
