It’s All About Getting High

Running doesn’t make sense to outsiders because they don’t understand the runner’s high.

From the outside, nobody understands smoking, drinking, crack, or heroine either. But from inside the community, it’s all about getting high.

Running looks crazy from the outside because non-runners don’t realize how high runners are getting.

Everything is crazy from the outside until you realize how high we’re getting on the inside.

Most books can be summed up in a sentence. Instead of writing books, I write sentences.
