6.It's tough,it hurts-and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week.
Of course,some people run to lose weight,or to get fit,and these are great reasons.Running is also easy to do,it's cheap,and you can do it when you want.All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK.
But for many of those two million runners,the real reason we run is more intangible (無形的) than weight loss or fitness.
Many runners become interested in times.They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K,or run under four hours for the marathon.Yet,really,these times are almost meaningless.And as soon as they are achieved,another target is thrown out almost immediately.
The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves.But why do we put them there?Nobody ever gives a wise answer.Deep down,we all know the answer.
Running brings us joy.Watch small children when they are excited,at play,and mostly they can't stop running.There's a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield,caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood,is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run."I don't even know what I was running for-I guess I just felt like it,"he says.
This will to run is born.In fact,humans may well have evolved the way we did because of our ability to run.As we run,we begin to sense that children joy.
If we push on,running harder,deeper into the loneliness,further away from the world and the structure of our lives,we begin to feel strangely excited,separated yet at the same time connected,to ourselves.After a long run everything seems right in the world.After a long run everything is at peace.To experience this is a powerful feeling,strong enough to have us coming back,again and again,for more.
