RUNNIN’ OFF AT THE MOUTH

“I breathe in strength and breathe out weakness.” – Amy Hastings Cragg

“Every run is a work of art, a drawing on each day’s canvas. Some runs are shouts and some runs are whispers. Some runs are eulogies and others celebrations.” – Dagny Scott Barrios

(Best Running Quotes for Global Running Day)

Keeping It Civil: How To Talk Politics Without Letting Things Turn Ugly

There may have been historical runs when conversation went political and contentious, so one Newsletter goal has long been to avoid politics.

And yet, as with running, who gets better without practice?

Starting the conversation

  • Avoid snap judgments
  • Stay humble
  • Avoid approaching from a zero-sum standpoint

Once you’re talking

  • Establish common ground as quickly as you can
  • Don’t let unwittingly offensive remarks short-circuit the conversation
  • Don’t attack someone’s personal beliefs

… If neither of you has changed your views by the end of the conversation … remember … your goal isn’t to agree; it’s to disagree and keep talking.
