i have been a runner all my life.
at school playtimes, i'd usually win our races up and down the playground.
at cross country, while some of the other lads would stop at the viaduct for a fag and a game of cards, i'd relish the running and carry on.
at home, if i was bored, my mum would time me on runs round the block.
at college, i converted it to football, and was perpetual motion up and down the right wing.
i'd go running two or three times a week.
i ran half marathons and marathons.

strange business, running.
i wonder why i love it so much.
presume someone has analysed it.

but it's just one of those things.
you either know what i mean or you think i'm a complete nutter.

or both, i suppose.
