The next time a non-runner asks you the question:
"What the heck do you run if there is nothing chasing you??"
You should say:
"It might not make sense now, but one day when we are on an African safari together and a hungry lion begins to chase us, you are sure gonna wish you'd practiced for that moment as much as I did!"
As a wise man once said, you don't ever have to be fast enough to out-run the lion, only fast enough to out-run the person next to you!
So tell me, what's a funny running saying or story you have seen (on the web, t-shirt, bumper sticker) or heard lately
Nobody ever said you had to be faster than the lion. You just have to be faster than the other guy. :)
ReplyDelete"My sport is your sport's punishment".
ReplyDeleteLove it. I remember in school when everyone was misbehaving and the punishment was running, which, at the time, I HATED. Now I sometimes do it for fun...crazy.
LOL! When I came back from the National Marathon, one of my co-workers asked, "Did you win?" I said no. Her response, "Did you even try?" I said, "When you run a marathon, everyone's a winner. We all get the medal to prove it." Some people will never understand!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. Any time anyone doesn't "get" why I run, I put the ball in their court. "Why don't you run?" Hmn.
