You never walked on that mans shoes

Ok, made it to the half century, the fiftieth post. Wanted to write this everyday, but such as life, sometimes things does not go as planned, but hey doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

So "You never walked on that mans show", is a quote may be said my somebody at there leisure, kicking back and thinking wow, you never know what goes in someone's head, why they do it that, what they think, how they interact and most importantly the words they say and the actions. Here we are interested in Running, not walking. So quote goes like "You never know how much that man had run". The thing is, after years of running and researching I think I have developed an instinct to notice good runners. By one glance you can tell how good a runner they are. The Beatles once said "Something in the way she moves". Hey dont look at women's parts for pleasure... ok. It cold be invasion of privacy. Just a glance keep running........

As they say to be good as something, have to have that focus, willing to work hard, commitment, time management, juggling life, blah blah blah.......... So to be a good runner you need all that. Some people are natural borne runners. It is like some wealthy people. Borne rich. So why try harder. The good runners are the people who have to work hard to achieve there dream. This is when those hours and hours of practice come in. The looooooong runs, short runs. (the number of letters for the word 'short' longer than the word 'long' - you got that) moving along....... speed drills, stretching, warm up, warm down, nutrition, strength exercises, muscle focused exercise. The good runners focus on these. That is how i guess they got there. One thing i forgot to mention is the word 'technique'. It is a key word. Without technique you are not going anywhere with running. It is way you use your body to go far far away without least effort. The stride, movement, lift, landing. They all make a one become a better runner.

So my friends what's the point. Weeeeeell what's the point of being a couch potato. Being out there running a way in the wee hours of the morning or late in evening or when ever give some time be active. I do understand, running is not everyone's cup of tea or in their agenda. It is hard work. I guess a good runner understands the need to be good at what she or he does. I personally know I would never in my wildest dreams be able to do a marathon in 2 hours. But would be nice to do that in 2:30 someday. It's a dream. Would be awesome to achieve that and give pad on my own back and say well done mate....., I guess this is not for an ego boost. Just another achievement in this journey.

So now 50 posts is done, looking forward to the next 50. Keep them writing coming along and guess have to do that no matter how crap this may sound;-)

One last thing-

When I see a good runner I always wish I do know what goes inside that persons heart. Because I may never know never know how much that man had run.

cheers
