The Athletic Philosopher Podcast - Episode 15 The Most Meaningful Run of My Life

It's not the big race, the dramatic landscape, or the personal record that make the most meaningful run. In this episode I talk about how a seemingly ordinary 4 mile road run in the country roads outside my small village turned into a powerful moment of meaning, something deeper than anything I've ever experienced on a run before. 

I put on my historian hat to describe the run, why it meant so much, and how another dramatic event six years earlier set the stage for this incredible full circle moment. I promise, you will get goosebumps at how this all unfolded.  Plus, I get to flex my skills at synthesizing disparate events with a narrative context to produce interpretive clarity, after a few episodes of playing the philosopher. 

In the end, it's all about keeping your heart open to the possibilities that any moment can become overwhelmingly meaningful if you're present and willing to see the truth.
