[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Well, if you stop to think about it, I suppose. I never really gave it that much thought.

I remember a senior warder at a juvenile prison when asked why he thought kids kept re-offending despite the hellish conditions of gaol simply said that everyone - kids included - just kept on doing whatever it is they're good at, whether it be stealing cars or burning down churches. Or in our case, running.

Of course, the young Eddie Merckx was smart - he used a getaway bike.
