Why do you run? What propels you to tuck your toes into
sneakers and run mile after mile after mile? What motivates you to hoist heavy
weights, pedal up high hills, or swim countless laps?
It’s not just about burning calories or whittling our
waistlines.
Running is a
beautiful and mighty thing.
It’s energizing and entitling and invigorating. And there
are moments on the run when we fairly transcend daily drudgery, cast off
cares, and cruise along in an unparalleled zone.
Today’s “Running Quotes by Non-Runners” inspiration comes
from an American Transcendentalist author and philosopher.
“Power and speed be hands and feet.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803-1882)
Don’t you know it, even if both might be a little sore
sometimes?

Now and then I miss running. My knees no longer have cartilage, but who knows maybe if I get the knees fixed I can jog again. I used to imagine I was a messenger running between villages.
