"As a breed, runners are a pretty gutsy bunch. We want to know how fast we can go, how much pain we can endure, and how far our bodies can carry us before collapsing in exhaustion. i'm urging you to take it a step further and test the boundaries of life, not just your physical prowess. Moving outward is an act of courage, and in my life running has also been a vehicle of introduction to people, places, cultures, and animals. I have run on seven continents, but it's not the details of the races i recall or splash across a movie projector at a pasta dinner. And it's not what made my life bookworthy. The interesting stuff, the humourous stuff, memorable, life affirming and worth-reading stuff, is the meeting of a stranger, the stamp of the passport, the glimpse of a never-before-seen sight, the outlandish adventure."
