We all spend our live running, but mostly unaware of just how much running we actually do.
We run to buy ice creams and treats when we are kids. We run for the bus or the tram. We run to school. We run away from scary things and bullies. We run and hide when we're in trouble. We run to our mums when we need comfort.
Relationships we run into and just quickly sprint away from. We run around trying to please our boss, and some of us spend half our lives running around in an effort to keep our partners happy.
As we age, we run less when we should be running more. We don't grow old. We grow lazy.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, because there really is no finish line.
Thoughts on running:
"I travelled the world looking for adventure, but now I find adventure in my daily run."
John A Wilson
"I run in order to find calm or to find the void. To avoid noise. Avoid people. Avoid decisions. Avoid music. I run to watch clouds. To watch birds. To see water and trees. So I keep running in my own cozy, warm home-made void. In my own nostalgic silence. And all of this is a pretty wonderful thing. No matter what anyone says"
John A Wilson
"Can you hear that which is close and that which is far? Can you feel the breeze? I think to myself 'this is the only time I will feel the sun, and this is the only time I will feel the breeze.' and I keep running."
