Running kind of carries me away sometimes. OK, let me unpack
that statement. It’s not that I’m floating along effortlessly. My feet are
pounding on the ground. My lungs are huffing and puffing. But the journey takes
over when the trip is particularly pleasing.
(This is reason #1,857,362 why I prefer outdoor running to
treadmill running. Can we agree on that?)
Whether jogging or sprinting, don’t we enjoy the most scenic
routes? I have some familiar favorites. I also love carving out new loops for
running in pretty places.
When the trail is especially appealing, I lose track of
time. I forget about the various parts of my body that hurt. I stop calculating
how many miles I have left to run.
Today’s “Running Quotes by Non-Runners” example captures
this concept precisely:
“If the path be beautiful, let us
not ask where it leads.” Anatole France (1844-1924)
