Shortcuts are uncertain. When we are on a hike
we see many shortcuts– skinny foot paths off the
main trail. They are not on the map. When I was in
my 40’s a friend and I ran our long runs on
Saturday mornings together. Sometimes we took a
supposed “shortcut”. Often it added an extra mile or
two to our run. Now, I have no desire to get off the
beaten path. Even if it means I have to take
the long way around.
