Spot on philosophy. Dedicated with love to all my running girls, and with admiration to my fellow participants in our online #100days challenge. Day 41/100 done and dusted… Thanks go to http://oursoleintent.com for this fun quotation.
So totally & utterly bored bored bored with the question “Why do you run?” Ditto for the sillier, demeaning ones like “At your age, why do you run?” Or “Why did you start running at your age?” Or “Isn’t it bad for you to run at your age?” So, yes, people, …
I did and indeed it is. Fine because I ran, I mean. It was hot – 31C at 5.30 am, for crying out loud – but with 2 energetic dogs for company, we all ignored the heat, ran in the forest, and they chased the peacocks•••, and I filled my …
