Slow Running

The journey not the destination!

Hi, I’m Edith, and this is a newsletter with comics and links. (Subscribe here!) I’d love to know what you think; please always feel free to reply to this email!

Links:

• The Half Marathoner, a great running newsletter/community from Terrell Johnson.

• No Need for Speed: A Beginner’s Guide to the Joy of Running, by John Bingham (Goodreads/Amazon). I just bought a used copy. (Also, a note: Last week I created an Amazon affiliates code for this newsletter, but I have since learned that Amazon affiliate links are unwelcome in emails, so my experiment there was short-lived. Sorry about that!)

• “UGH… I feel so depressed and empty today.” Cartoonist Kelly Abeln, in a moving story on Instagram. (Also, more Kelly boyfriend comics here.)

• Speaking of boyfriends: “Someone got their boyfriend to rate wedding dresses.” I think this was my favorite internet content this past week. Year? Decade? [Twitter/davejorgenson]
