Why do we write? Why do we speak? There are hundreds of languages that humans speak. What's the point? For sure, we want to be heard. We want to express ourselves, to be understood. I like to talk about running. But I like to talk about a lot of other things too. There are things that I want to hear. So I listen.
I am a surely a runner, and most people I know make that association right away. I've found I have to hang out with other runners, because at least we get bored of asking each other about running. So, we will do and talk about other things once in a while.
For instance, my housemate is learning Spanish translation. He is very fascinated with language, and we have some great conversations about words and various languages, roots and origins. Good for the brain.I'll have to say that once in a while, I need to remove my mind from running. I need to be a bump on a log. Move little and just think. Maybe pick up my guitar, read a comic book (don't pick on me, some of them are really well written!). Or go somewhere, get a snack, watch some people. Do something, experience something, as long as it isn't running.
There is a lot more to all of us, what we like, what we do, where we've been, who we are. People just need to remember that. I'm more than a runner. And so are you.
Who are you? Who am I? I am fairly sure that I know the answer to that in my mind and in my heart. Running is maybe just my favorite way of putting it out there, but there is so much more.
With that, I bid you all a good day. And now, I am going to take my parent's awesome dog, Fonzie, for a walk, because I love him.

| A shadow of my former self. If you want to get philosophical, you are a different person every day. You aren't who you were yesterday. |
