Runners- my husband (who is an Olympian) thinks this is weird. Ever since HS (so for 30+ years now), if I put my shoe on for run and it has a pebble or rock in it- I leave it. I like to see if I can push the annoyance out of my mind. Afterwards I dump it out. Anyone else do this?

Running is practical, aesthetic and spiritual all at once. Few other ways of moving offer such diversity of use and utility. It’s this notion that informs the things we fight for, the people we spend time with, and the products we make.
