You can run, but...

"My obsessive running... was my distraction, my escape, my solution—the way that I tried to order a chaotic universe. It's ironic, but true, that running eventually forced me to face up to the very reality it was meant to hold at bay." From @JohnKaag:

@JohnKaag discovers a better solution: Solvitur Ambulando, it IS solved by walking, knew Aristotle, Diogenes, and so many others. Terrific essay, honest testament, further inducement to the peripatetic life.

Remarkable, John. Glad you've found the wisdom in Aristotle and his peripatetics. Consider as well the wisdom of Satchel Paige: "avoid running at all times." Get a dog, and walk her twice daily. Bring your daughter too.
