No One WANTS To Run A Marathon
The Introduction and Chapters 1 & 2 of Looks Like We’re Running: An Amateur’s Companion to Becoming a Marathoner
IntroductionThe Chicago Marathon, 2019
“Okay, what am I doing here?”
This isn’t a real question. It’s just existential angst. That’s all. What I’m actually doing is running mile eighteen of the 2019 Chicago Marathon. It’s my first marathon, and my brain is just on a low, angsty simmer in

Looks Like We're Running: An Amateur's Companion to Becoming a Marathoner:
"The author is quite vulnerable here, but for some reason it didn’t resonate enough with me to be 4 stars or 5.
Dirty jokes riddled around the book became a bit too much, but this was a pretty good book to finish right before a race. " |

“writers are desperate people and when they stop being desperate they stop being writers.”

“I think that the poet and scholar Kathleen Raine was correct in reminding us that life, like holiness, can be known only by being experienced. To experience it is not to "figure it out" or even to understand it, but to suffer it and rejoice in it as it is. In suffering it and rejoicing it as it is, we know that we do not and cannot understand it completely. We know, moreover, that we do not wish to have it appropriated by somebody's claim to have understood it. Though we have life, it is beyond us. We do not know how we have it, or why. We do not know what is going to happen to it, or to us. It is not predictable; though we can destroy it, we cannot make it. It cannot, except by reduction and the grave risk of damage, be controlled. It is, as Blake said, holy. To think otherwise is to enslave life, and to make, not humanity, but a few humans its predictably inept masters.”
