Ladies and gentleman,
Often we find ourselves discussing issues that are truly of no significance on this board. Really, the guy with the board shorts at USATF, Alan Webb\'s coach, Jason Lunn\'s tights, whatever. I post just to offer a thought.
We are truly lucky.
Runners are the philosophers of our time. Escaping into the woods, we are truly free. From the Flatirons of Boulder to the plains of Indiana, and yes, even to the trails that JasonInAsia calls home, we are free. We go at our own pace, to lengths we determine, and enjoy. Let\'s not take for granted the pleasure that is running. It is part of our being.
I for one am thankful for being given the opportunity to run. To be free.
