The greatest gift that running has given me - after continuing health, daily visit to my interior life, and a warm feeling for everyone else who enjoys the sport -- is what might be called a sympathy for physiology. Not in the poor-baby sense of sympathy, but in the isn't-that-wonderful sense. The training effect itself -- the body's natural improvement in response to stress--is the most delicious small piece of physiology I know. I wouldn't have learned about it if it weren't for running.
