A bit self promotion heading into the new year. I wrote quite a bit about running this year. Here is the list of links:
- For the AEJMC Journal of Magazine Media, I wrote about Runner's World for the prompt "a magazine that made me": https://muse.jhu.edu/article/858297/pdf
- For Starting Line 1928, I had the honor to interview Jacqueline Hansen. If you want a history of women's running, this is an interview that will provide so much context: https://www.startingline1928.com/pioneerstories/jacqueline-hansen

"Learning to read chapter books and tie my black-and-white oxfords was all part of second grade for me. I also learned that when I felt full of energy or unfocused, running a lap around Alpine Elementary would allow me to finish my work in class.

Paying Attention: Running with a new diagnosis | Tracksmith

Gone are the “bad brain” days. I notice a difference in my training. I can remember the interval I’m on and focus on running the mile I’m in.

Yesterday I saw that @taylorlorenz joined Mastodon; the first "big name" journalist that I've seen doing so. Sooner or later, there will be other "Taylor Lorenz" accounts that pop up here.
