Matthew Inman, with an awesome six-page spread for The Oatmeal, on why he runs. One of my favorite panels surrounds a late-night run in Japan:
I’ve always considered the question to be “Why am I alive? Why am I here? What’s the point of me?”
And to that I say:
Who cares? Forget the why?
You are in a raging forest full of beauty and agony and magical grapey beverages and lightning storms and demon bees.
This is better than the why.
I relate to a lot of what Inman says. My favorite thing to do while working out is simply to think.
