The joy and love of running. It's hard to explain to those who haven't done it. It's a feeling.
Dr. George Sheehan, as he so often did, really nails it as he describes the simple pleasures of running.
"For every runner who tours the world running marathons, there are thousands who run to hear the leaves and listen to the rain, and look to the day when it is suddenly as easy as a bird in flight. For them, sport is not a test but a therapy,not a trial but a reward, not a question but an answer."
The fall--autumn marathon time---a very special and exciting time of the year. When I lived in Buffalo, you could feel the excitement in the air as you did your laps in Delaware Park preparing for the fall Skylon Marathon. A single focus and purpose by so many people.
The good old days of running.
25 minutes at 2/3's pace--felt worse then it should have--stretching after.
What did you do?
