Murderous March
Excellent ramble. You should consider writing a self-help manual. I'd buy it...

Seriously, there are truths here. I agree totally that running is, or can be, a purgatory activity. We've all expressed this before in a number of different ways. The reconnection with our environment and the landscape is a different facet of the same phenomenon, namely of seeing the familiar in an unfamiliar way. Or of re-seeing the familiar in the way we once saw it, but forgotten about, in an act of deep-rooted rediscovery.

It is the world laid bare.

And coincidentally or not, these are precisely the same sensations that LSD... is said to... induce. I seem to remember writing that running a marathon is like LSD for grown-ups, or similar. Apparently.

Are pork chops that fattening then?
