Running & Friendship -- Day #5 Week #4

 

"There's a closeness about people who run together. We become better friends, better athletes and better women by the company we keep."

Kristin Armstrong

Above is my favorite painting. The title is Kindred Spirits and it is by the American artist Asher B Durand. The men in the picture are Thomas Cole (also a painter) and the 19th century poet William Cullen Bryant. I like the painting because of its portrayal of nature and the friendship of these two men. 

Running has given me many things but more than anything else its given me dozens of friends. There is a closeness that is created when we share a run with someone else.
