“
I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one’s body as an instrument rather than just an ornament. It’s a really great way to reorient how you see your body so you can see it as this incredible, awe-inspiring machine that you need to fuel well in order for it to function.

Running a marathon absolutely made me feel this way about my body. As did, interestingly, being a cheerleader in high school and college. I was a “base,” and lifting people up and tossing them around made me feel strong.
