Rheum in Bloom

Why I Run


 

Perhaps my favorite line in the book, and my ultimate reason for running: "Somerset Maugham once said that in each shave lies a philosophy. ... No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act."

And, in fact, that previously mentioned Facebook page, the one called "My Name Is Usain Bolt And I Love Chicken Nuggets," its page description says "like if you love Usain Bolt’s calm relaxed personality."
