I have you now.....

Marathon T

I feel I have to respond….and I think I might have you on the following impeccable logic.

You are making the mental leap that we all have friends able to drop everything (and us out in the wilderness) whenever we decide we want to go for a run. There is almost never anyone available to do this in my life….in fact in terms of the activity of running – friends are only rarely able to share the experience….if you will indulge me, the following quiz should settle this….

Can you pick the classic film/book combo from the following?

a) The chumminess of the long-distance runner
b) The Loneliness of the long-distance runner
c) The long-distance runner goes out with a few mates to find a hill to run down, then out for a nice meal and chat.

It’s a solitary pursuit, just grab trainers and go…and that’s the way we like it.
