Insane Ideas for the Future

What I think about when I go for a long run

Saturday long runs are my favourite running session. The pace is slow, the roads are long and I’m in no rush to come back home. Once my legs are warmed up, they can be put on autopilot and my mind can wander off. I start to ponder ideas that might be stupid and naive, but what the hell, it’s not like I’m in power to implement any of them.

They’re rough around the edges and I publish them not as a finished product but as a conversation starter. Who knows where they might lead you and where our conversations might end. As always, I’m at the risk of making a complete fool of myself, but it is a risk worth taking.

I invite you to take the long run with me.

Ready? Set? Go!

The winter air is cold and stings around my ears. Just one foot in front of the other and it will pass. I’m warming up. Remember, you love this. Fuck, it’s cold, let’s think about something else. Geez, how many people are out today! Don’t they know it is still a pandemic going on? They want to bring everyone down with them, don’t they? Hellooooo, what’s wrong with you people? (guess who’s irritated today)

The highest and the lowest climber share the same rope
