Running
The reason I'm writing this could be because I've just finished a run, and I guess it actually is. I just find it a fascinating thing. So many people do it, everyone has done it at some point in their lives at least. It's one of the most basic things in the world. And yet, it seems like a chore. I have to force myself to run. Why? Why have I not just been doing it all my life? It keeps me in good health, gives me time to think things through, and gives me endorphins. The answer is simple, I'm lazy.
I wish this was not true, but it is. Now another question materializes, is it human nature that I am lazy? Or is it human nature to enjoy running? Little kids run, oh boy do they run. All the time, and everywhere they go. So why is it that when we get older we stop? Is it because we're self-conscious of ourselves? It can't possibly be because we believe running to be bad for our health. That idea is simply idiotic.
I choose to not be another typical American. One who eats junk food and chooses not to exercise. It's ridiculous really. All Americans are searching for a diet that allows them to eat whatever they wish, do no exercise, and still lose weight at an incredible rate. It's.....I don't know but it's something very stupid and ridiculous. I've been one of those people for quite a while, but not anymore. So, everyone let's get out there. Go swimming because you enjoy the water, hike because it's beautiful, and run because it's good for all of you.
