The teammates you run with in freezing rain often become the ones you call when life gets cold.

Shared discomfort builds something that shared fun does not. When conditions are bad, everybody drops the version of themselves they usually present, and what you see of each other is unguarded. That is also why the bond transfers: having seen someone at their least composed, you know they can handle seeing you that way. A friendship made in bad weather tends to hold in other kinds of bad weather.

Pay attention to who is beside you in the worst session this week, and keep hold of those names. Not because of the running, but because you now have evidence about them.
