We explain why we go. And, why we keep going back.

I did and was reminded of something that is so easily forgotten.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Why do most trail runners obsess over races?
What if you got creative and combined your fitness with objectives of your own design? Mountains, for example.
Think of the places you’ll get to go.
It’s all up to you.
