Yet in my wilderness training out west, I was introduced to "coyote running" which greatly improved my ability to run... even distances. I've not been running much since then and this TED talk has inspired me to begin running again. I love his reference to pack running which reminded me of an ancient Ojibwe prophecy speaking about a time when wolf and human hunted together and that our paths would separate for a time only to be one day joined together again. Maybe that prophecy is unfolding in our lives today with the comeback of the wolf and our re-imagining that we were born to run.

Exploring Our Running Roots
I've been reading Chris' book Born to Run and it has really inspired me to re-think my understanding of running. When I was young and into my teens, I was always a sprinter and never could run more than a 6-minute mile. I always told myself that I was not a distance runner.
