i'm with ya man, i really am.
and i have nothing against running. i'm gonna run forever and ever and it will probably keep me sane too. you obviously have a similar dream as me...meaning if you could do whatever you wanted then it wouldn't be sit in an office with those people.
but your view is so unrealistic. "f**k the world"...well no, that's easier said than done. i'm sittin here, poor off my you know what, lookin for a job, living with my parents, etc etc. i have a college degree from a great school and nothing to show for it. i wish i could just move out somewhere, do what makes me happy, make enough money to live on, etc etc. that'd be awesome. but it's not realistic.
the reality is that nobody cares...meaning you busted your butt for years running and don't get any recognition for it. i'm all for running dude, i just regret busting my butt....the mile repeats, the 20 milers, etc. the running when it's 10 below or when it's 95 and humid. etc.
i'd love to hear a realistic path i could take if you got one. but just saying 'F THE WORLD" won't get me or anyone else much man.
