Life is meant to be pounding, screaming with sweat and power: explosive and breathtaking with all the energy you can bring to a boil. You are most alive, as a runner, living life to its fullest: on the road, as fast and far as you possibly can. Greg Gumbinner lived his life to the fullest. I run a race dedicated to his memory this week, and ponder the concept that all runners are living their lives to the top of their game.
