For many, running is "a miserable two miles motivated solely by size 6 jeans: get on the scale, get depressed, get your headphones on, and get it over with." For ultra-marathoner Ann Trason, there is a certain romance about running. "... you have to relax into [the run], like easing your body into a hot bath, until it no longer resists the shock and begins to enjoy it. Relax enough, and your body becomes so familiar with the cradle-rocking rhythm that you almost forget you're moving. And once you break through to that soft, half-levitating flow, that's when the moonlight and champagne show up." p.69
