Running on Odds
There is a race you know by heart without ever having run it.
You can trace the course in your head: the river crossing, the climb that breaks people, the exposed ridge, the final turn into town. You know the shape of the start arch, the way the crowd sounds in videos, the exact corner where finishers usually start crying. Other people’s race reports have become your map.

“Right before you head out running, it can be hard to remember exactly why you're doing it. You often have to override a nagging sense of futility, lacing up your shoes, telling yourslef that no matter how unlikely it seems right now, after you finish you will be glad you went. It's only afterward that it makes sense, although even then it's hard to rationalize why. You just feel right. After a run, you feel at one with the world, as though some unspecified, innate need has been fulfilled.”
