Heard about this on the BBC this evening.
Don't think I'll try it, although I hear only one person has actually died doing this.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I really wonder sometimes what goes on psychologically in some people's heads that they feel they have this much to prove. Did daddy not give them enough attention?

They run, yet nobody is chasing them. Go figure?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Endurance running is about winning arguments with yourself. If you can win these arguments you can pretty accomplish anything that tests your will or your endurance. Distance running becomes a metaphor for the runner in his or her own self discovery process. It is rarely about getting the attention of anybody at true endurance distances.

Okay.
I see it as my own kind of metaphor - running away from someone or something.
We all tell ourselves all sorts of things, and we're all pretty much full of crap. You and me included.
