Welcome to a new feature of Byline to Finish Line where we’re constantly creating our own stories. While not all of us will be a professional football player, win an Olympic medal or make the varsity team, we all have an athlete inside of us. And he or she has lots of wisdom to tell us, not just about our fitness pursuits but about what really matters to us. We kick off this feature by connecting to slowness. Slowness? Yep. Embrace the easy runs and learn to recognize the difference between focused speed and going too fast.
