Yancy: There may come a day when I can't run anymore, but I can still do it right now. So I do it. I run just about everywhere I go.

Joe Gray: But ultimately too, I need to stay in shape because I want to beat my son for a few more years. He's slowly catching up.

Today, Yancy and Joseph Gray talk about finding the spark to run, having an activity to do until you physically can't anymore after a long life, and using it to better your life and for those around you. Today, you'll learn about:

How to push yourself in a way that brings you gratification like nothing else Getting lost in the magical feeling of the trail One day there will be a day you can't run anymore, enjoy physical things while you can
