I saw a runner today while I was mowing the lawn. He looked so strong in his stride. After he ran past me and passed the next house, he stopped running and looked like he was gasping for air. Did it really matter for me to 'think' that he was an extremely athletic person?
You run for yourself. 50 years from now when you're still running and in healthy shape, you won't be thinking, "that young man mowing the lawn thinks I'm a good runner."

maybe he was doing a fartlek run.
ReplyDeleteor maybe he popped his knee.
or maybe he realized he forgot his sandwich in the car and that it just might not be a sandwich anymore.
or maybe he was avoiding your dangerous stare.
or maybe lawn mowers make him happy.
or maybe he saw that you were allan peng and OH LORD he just had a rapture and decided that all of these things happened at the same time and what ELSE could he do but speed up or slow down or gasp or breath or die!
...its a possibility.
