Yes we may run for our sanity, the betterment of our souls, to push ourselves…but when it comes right down to it there’s a little peace of mind knowing if a situation arises where we need to get the heck out of there FAST, we’re faster than one poor, unfortunate soul. 😉
Darwinism at its finest, Folks. 😉 #runtosurvive

More CARTOONS HERE!!
———–
1) Let’s hear another situation that you’ve thought of where running fast would certainly help you dodge a bullet? Or any other hazard.
2) When’s been a situation in life that being a runner has helped?
Chasing a bus I was about to miss. Speeding down the terminal trying to make a flight, heart rate at about interval level. 😉
3) What’s making you laugh today?
Survival of the “fittest” 🙂 literally.
hahaha!! you got it! 🙂
Definitely been thankful to be an athlete when making that mad dash for a connecting flight! I’m also thankful for my athleticism in my daily life – of course, it’s essential now that I “work” in fitness – but even before, when I was a scientist, I could handle long hours at the bench, moving/climbing/grabbing big and heavy things from inaccessible places, and keeping my mind ‘in the game’ even when my body was getting fatigued. I think endurance athletes make great employees – as long as calf sleeves don’t bother you! 😉
I will say, however, that I don’t exactly like this ‘Don’t be the slowest!’ sentiment spread around too much. I know it’s all in good fun, but as someone who works with new runners, I can definitively say that this kind of thing plays on their biggest fear: being the slowest, being last, holding everyone else up, etc. etc. So I try to steer clear of it, even in jest.
endurance athletes are totally the best employees, we’re good at ‘numbing’ out and just plowing thru work until it’s DONE. mentally and physically. 🙂
