About Running on Sentences

What started as a way for Sydney Bollinger to chronicle training for the 2024 Every Woman’s Marathon in Savannah, GA, Running on Sentences is now a place for discussing the ends and outs of running, what it means to be moving, how we chase our goals, and what happens when we — sometimes — fail.

Running on Sentences launched in May 2024.
