Running!

To run is to:

• put one foot and leg in front of the other in a faster rhythm than walking.
• overcome your own laziness and to be disciplined.
• loose some of the belly fat. Back fat. Butt fat. General fat.
• run away from something threatening.
• to escape an unpleasant situation.
• arrive at the ball before the other guy and kick the round thing into the square thing. 3 - 0.
• craving for it to come to an end so you can take that shower and afterwards have a seat to write those 2000 words du jour, eat chocolate, drink coffee and feel very content and pleased with oneself.
• get up at the crack of dawn to force oneself out onto the street and not to turn back before at least 5 kilometre has been covered.
• for some it has to mean they feel freedom and revitalises body and mind.
• addiction.
• get addictive.
• get from A to B without leaving any carbon footprints.
• be 6 years old again and just feel all that energy.
• defeat comfort.
• build character.
• show strength and perseverance.
• be obsessed.
• enjoy the fresh cool air and see the landscape passing at a slower pace than driving a bike or a car.
• experience the environment 360 degrees.
• catch some prey - if you are a predator.
• survive the day and run away from the predator - if you are prey.
