For some reason, maybe because it was the weekend of Valentine’s day, these lines were stuck in my head. It is a sonnet by Shakespeare made more famous by the Emma Thompson/Kate Winslet adaption of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. 

One of my favorite poems about love is a sonnet by Shakespeare made more famous by the Emma Thompson/Kate Winslet adaption of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. 

“Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, 
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;”

What is Love?

Love is enjoying a run together with the perfect pace, even though your paces are very different.

Love is chatting up with your mom-is-no-longer-cool tweenager on a long and easy run.

Love is discovering all that my body and mind is capable of.

Love is enjoying the solitude that a long run provides. Just me, my thoughts, and myself.
