“People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming
they’ll go to any length to live longer. But I don’t think that’s the
reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live
longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you’re
going to while away the years, it’s far better to live them with clear
goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do
that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits:
that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life—and for me, for
writing as well. I believe many runners would agree.”
