Sometimes people think they are just not tough. “I just can’t do what you can do, no way! Me, run!” they laugh with wrinkles crinkling the corners of their eyes.
You might explain something to the effect but not as succinctly, “Oh you can do it, it just takes time.” To which you will be told all sorts of reasons from genetics to the disposition of their mind on why this is simply not true. And they really believe it. It brings to mind a saying that goes something like this; the only books that impact you are those for which you are ready. Running greets many people who get into it at some point or another as an adult. They hated the act, looked at it as a form of punishment maybe, as a teenager doing basketball or football. Now as an adult, it becomes a way to meditate, to leave stress or to simply enjoy their body for they now know how precious it is to use the body the way it’s designed. They have found their needle, bright shiny and true; running can be great!
