Cover art for Run lyrics by Kathleen Edwards

I just saw Kathleen in concert yesterday in Kent Ohio and she told us how this song came to be. She was going out to eat for her best friend's 30th birthday. At the resterant, she was talking to her best friend's mom who she has known since she was a child. Recently Kathleen had taken up jogging and when her friend's mom asked what was new she told her this. Then her friend's mom said that she used to run all of the time. She then proceeded to tell a story that non of her own children had heard before. In the imddle of the ngiht sometimes, she would go for a run down the street. She would run and run until she would collaspe into the street itself. She felt that when she ran all of her troubles melted away. After she literally couldn't run anymore, she would turn around and run back home. This story is what Kathleen modled her song after. In the song is talks about what her child came into her life 30 years ago, which is how old Kathleen friend was. It is a great song and it was terrific to hear live
