I am never bored. People and the pain they cause are what I cannot stand. The pain of relationships made and broken. The pain of leaving. The pain of being left.
Runners live in the now.
My last marathon is of minor importance, my next race is not of immediate concern. I am here, and now running up THIS hill. This is my only reality. I am in complete agony, suffering more than is possible, and in the end, when I reach the summit I'll have many more miles to go, and will savor every step. Runners live life to the fullest.
