Clearing your mind

Running is one the best solutions to a clear mind. – Sasha Azevedo

 

ICE CREAM!!!

I go running when I have to. When the ice cream truck is doing sixty. – Wendy Liebman

It's the effort

And with the next race in mind, each of us, in our place, will most likely silently go about our usual training. Even if, seen from the outside, or from some higher vantage point, this sort of life looks pointless or futile, or even extremely inefficient, it doesn’t bother me. Maybe it’s some pointless act like, as I’ve said before, pouring water into an old pan that has a hole in the bottom, but at least the effort you put into it remains. Whether it’s good for anything or not, cool or totally uncool, in the final analysis what’s most important is what you can’t see but can feel in your heart. To be able to grasp something of value, sometimes you have to perform seemingly inefficient acts. But even activities that appear fruitless don’t necessarily end up so. That’s the feeling I have, as someone who’s felt this, who’s experienced it. – Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

A long drive...

When there are certain emotions in your heart, there is only one thing to do: Drive – Anonymous

What is running inside of you?

You can outdistance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you.

A healthy dose of cynicism

What people forget is a journey to nowhere starts with a single step, too. – Chuck Palahniuk

Peace Amid Chaos

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy. – H.H. The Dalai Lama
