The top three takeaways from this episode are:

1. Even though running is a solitary sport, being part of a group or mass of people makes the experience.
2. Aim for the moon and you even if you miss, you will land upon the stars.
3. Take a step back from an experience, even an interaction with someone, and ask yourself, what is this person/experience teaching me?
