"Running is my belief system and my way to keep my inner peace. The process of running is unbearable, but running is the best way for me to reach the spiritual height. " This passage appeared at the beginning of the book, which I think is the essence of the book. When I read this, it caused me some buzz.
Most people in China don't like sports. I have no talent for sports since I was a child, and I have never been obsessed with a certain sport. Because I was sickly since I was a child, my father sought medical advice for me all the year round. Later, I changed from a skinny monkey to a chubby guy. Insomnia and depression began in high school, and it still does today. So I've never really felt healthy. My best state is probably going to the gym for a semester at the end of college. I'm not aiming at muscular men, but brushing fat to lose weight. Sure enough, I lost weight later, my mental state improved a lot, and even my face value rose a lot. This convinced me that exercise can change a person and make you better.
My nature is free and easy, and it is difficult to stick to one thing all the year round. Since that fitness semester, sports have become an intermittent hobby. The sweetness of sports still lost to self-exile, and never reached a satisfactory figure. I'm not the kind of person who always comes first. Generally speaking, my thoughts are moderate, which will naturally appear mediocre. I think I should change something, maybe it would be better to be more perfect.
From the beginning of August to the end of September, I don't know how it has been recently. Addicted to games, escape from reality and loneliness, no exercise, serious lack of sleep, low efficiency in work and study, vicious circle. . . However, there has always been a voice in my heart telling me that I can't give up treatment and need to make changes.
I tried to draw strength from this book, and it really worked. After reading O 'Sullivan's Running, it gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation, and also let me know more about Mr. Fire. He is such a real person, I think I should live a simple life, real and warm enough.
Run and find your true self!
