| "If you think something is boring, try doing it for two minutes. If you still thinks it's boring, try it for four. If you still think it's boring, try it for eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and so on and so forth. Soon enough you'll find that it's really not boring at all." - John Cage | | Add Comment |

| I sent this in to an ultrarunning email group today, so I thought I'd share with y'all: Admittedly, the weather of the last few days has been less than pleasant
for running. Maybe it's just a Southerner's thin skin allowing the 40
degree rain to penetrate a little too deeply, or maybe it's the
accumulation of many days of miserable weather over the last few weeks,
but whatever the cause, the effect is the same: a cold, drenched,
slightly fatigued runner trudging back inside afterward.
To any
sane person, this begs the immediate question of why we do it. Why
would we put ourselves through such experiences? Why risk sickness?
Why go out into the cold? I must admit, when I get off work and am
driving to my running launch point, I often wonder such things. I often
find myself asking, is it worth it?
Sitting at a keyboard, it is
certainly easy to say "of course it
is, you can get X and Y and Z out of it and see benefits A and B and C
and you can do this, and, and, and..." But when it comes time to put
rubber to road, we're all faced with that same question.
Is it worth it?
I
think that when we opt out of our runs, the answer is apparently that
it is not; however, when we, as runners, can get past these questions
that plague us prior to our runs, more often than not, once we get into
the act of running itself, the answer becomes a resounding yes.
Is
it worth it? This cold, drenched, slightly fatigue runner trudging
back inside afterward would have to give a hearty affirmative. | | Comments(3) |
