But we know runners aren’t in it solely for the weekly workouts. The organized practices are a means for what we also seek through our athletic endeavors — connection, camaraderie and community. We’re a team, a running family and a reliable source of community and service, even when the world is turned upside down. Erin Strout is executive director of Team Run Flagstaff and senior writer at Women’s Running.
