Today’s episode is not about my love of this sport; it’s about how
to help others to fall in love with
this sport. 

Running is an activity that
fellow runners, like you and I, gather pleasure from.  We look forward to these feelings of pleasure
every day when we lace up our shoes.

To the non-runner, or someone
who finds any physical activity abhorrent, this love of running is an alien
emotion.  These sufferers on THE COUCH OF
DOOM consider the act of running as equivalent to the act of smashing a brick
into ones forehead: it neither seems like a good idea, nor would it bring
pleasure to do so.

So, how does one fall in love
with running?

Once you start paying more
attention to your body in motion, you’ll begin to feel the urge to take that
daily break out on the roads.  You’ll
begin to feel an infatuation with eating and living healthier, to enhance and
improve your daily performance.  You
might even start subscribing to a few running related podcasts…especially as
you start to realize that you could run faster than some goofy little podcaster
from New England, who really isn’t all that and a bag of chips…and the next
thing you know you’ll be eating those chips from within a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich for the purpose of sodium replacement and protein muscular
recovery.

And maybe, just maybe your
new found love for running will work both ways and you’ll find that running is
in love with you.
