I loved this! It’s right up there with Born to Run as one of the best running books I’ve read - but more than that, it’s a treatise on being human, bringing in literature, philosophy, history, politics...
The main thing I am reminded of is that running is necessary... it is part of us, and we are part of the world, and we are required to go out in the world and absorb it, else we wither and fade.
( Since I’m currently in a rest phase this was both inspiring and frustrating. )
It also reminds us that running is a political act - one of declaring one’s freedom, to need nothing other than being a body, running, and a soul, being free. As the run leader of NYC’s Black Roses says - running is an act of revolution.
