We Run When We're Scared, We Run

I Have The Idea That Running Shoes Are Based On A Kind Of Cult Idea - That Our Feet Are Flawed And We Need Shoes To Correct Those Flaws. The Shoe Companies Are In The Business Of Selling Shoes. But There's No Evidence From Running Shoe Manufacturers That They're Right. There's No Scientific Data That Running Shoes Reduce Injury.

We Are The Biggest Sissies In The Jungle. Every Other Animal Is Stronger Than We Are - They Have Fangs, They Have Claws, They Have Nimbleness, They Have Speed. We Think Usain Bolt Is Fast - Usain Bolt Can Get His Ass Kicked By A Squirrel.

When It Comes To Mentors, You Can't Beat Survival.

If You Read Folklore And Mythology, Any Kind Of Myths, Any Kind Of Tall Tales, Running Is Always Associated With Freedom And Vitality And Youthfulness And Eternal Vigor. It's Only In Our Lifetime That Running Has Become Associated With Fear And Pain.

Deny Your Nature, And It Will Erupt In Some Other, Uglier Way.
