For the Next Track
<p>In2019 I started running road races, and steadily since then, the sport has been a fulfilling outlet for me. But this past marathon training cycle, my third, something started to feel different. I felt exhausted in an unfamiliar kind of way, and the extremes of training felt harder to justify. <em>What is this?</em>,<em> </em>I wondered. <em>Am I done with running?</em></p>
<p>To make sense of this shift I first have to take a step back.</p>
<p>Coming from a family of artists, music is another passion of mine. And when it comes to music, I’m most often drawn to the parts of a song or genre that have a foundational, even mechanical impact on the overall feel. I’m talking about rhythm and bass, synthesizers, drones, and even silence. Sometimes you have to be patient to fully realize their contribution. Other times, your body and emotions immediately recognize distinct time signatures or playing styles as a signal for movement.</p>
