Why do I run?
Because I have no short answer to this question, I direct you to Dave Eggers' You Shall Know Our Velocity. Below, you will find a ten page excerpt from the book that I find to be quite fantastic. In a roundabout way I feel as though it offers some insight to the reasons I enjoy running. It is from this book that the name of this blog was derived.
Its a shame that some runners don't know about the nomadic Jumping People who were indigenous to Chile, weighed as much as mountains, and were convinced a bird's mouth was more important to its flight than its wings.*
