The Inertia

“There’s nothing better than starting a run in the morning in a little crisp air and the leaves are falling with just you and the trail… and you’re breathing, and that’s all.” – Emma Coburn

Try to keep up.  You won’t be able to — but try anyway. And in the end, it doesn’t really matter if you keep up anyway; simply getting out there is worth it, far and away enough to make you think everything is going to be okay.

At least that’s how Emma Coburn, the fastest American female steeplechaser EVER, feels when running through the foothills and surrounding mountains of Crested Butte, Colorado, where she grew up.
