Running Secrets

From this amazing book that I am reading right now, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall:

"That was the real secret of the Tarahumara: they'd never forgotten what it felt like t love running. they remembered that running was mankind's first fine art, our original act of inspired creation. Way before we were scratching pictures on caves or beating rhythms on hollow trees, we were perfecting the art of combining our breath and mind and muscles into fluid self-propulsion over wild terrain. ...You had to love running, or you wouldn't live to love anything else. And like everything else we love - everything we sentimentally call our 'passions' and 'desires' - it's really an encoded ancestral necessity. We were born to run; we were born because we run."
Find the joy, find the passion! I love it! Check this book out - it is UNBELIEVABLE!
