The runner need not break four minutes in the mile or four hours in the
marathon. It is only neccessary that he runs and runs and sometimes
suffers. Then one day he will wake up and discover that somewhere along the
the way he has begun to see the order and law and love and truth that makes
men free.

George Sheehan

I try not to think about anything special while I’m running. As a matter of fact, I usually run with my mind empty. However, when I run empty-minded, something naturally and abruptly crawls in sometimes. That might become an idea that can help me with my writing.

Running is not a private activity. People are watching. Show someone what it’s like to want something.
