THE UPSIDE OF GETTING YOUR CAR STOLEN
AFTER I PARKED AT THE LAFAYETTE COLLEGE track for my workout, I did what I always do: I put my phone and wallet in the center console of my car and took the car key off the ring so I could fit it into the tiny pocket inside my running shorts.

RUN RIGHT PAST IMPOSTOR SYNDROME
GROWING UP, I played basketball, softball, and lacrosse, even dabbled in fencing, but always stayed away from running. Other kids were faster than me, so I left running to them. When I moved to New York in my early 30s, I discovered the joy of a 5K, and started to lace up regularly.

COULD YOU TEACH YOUR CAT TO RUN?
**EYE OF THE TIGER' was written for you, Fiona!\" I cry, pointing at our one-eyed, 4-year-old black cat resting on our carpet. Hearing her name, she rolls onto her back, offering her stomach for a belly rub. But this is no time for pampering. I need to tell her my master plan.

WHICH RUNNING GEAR IS-AND ISN'T-WORTH YOUR MONEY
RUNNING, AT ITS Core, is a relatively low-gear sport, but people love to bemoan that it's increasingly expensive. I agree-paying $120 for a long-sleeve T-shirt or shelling out hundreds for compression boots seems bonkers to me.

WHY RACING A 5K FEELS MENTALLY MORE CHALLENGING THAN A HALF MARATHON
STANDING ON THE starting line of any race-but especially when I'm vying for a faster finish time-I feel a twinge of anxiety pop up, whispering worries in my ear that something might go wrong. For example, I'll miss my goal and all the hard work of training will have been for nothing. Or I'll end up slogging through the miles and regretting every step. Or worse, I'll find myself injured and sidelined.
