村上春树写过一本书:《当我跑步时,我谈些什么》,讲述他的马拉松历程。通过文字,可以理解跑步所带来的欢乐是什么,但是这和自己跑却是两个概念。长跑不需要太多设备,也无需同伴,适合那些习惯孤独的人。我想,这个世界上应该有许多喜欢跑步的家伙,他们需要彼此发现一下对方的存在。请欣赏《跑者信条》(Runner's Creed -- The Road to Peace)。
独白:
This is my run
There are many others like it
But this one is mine
My run is my heaven
It is my life
I must master it as I must master my life
Without me my run is nothing
Without my run I am nothing
I must run this road ?
I must run faster than the stress of world that is working to drag me down
I must overrun the stress before it overruns me
I will
I swear this creed
My run and I are defenders of my sanity
We are the masters of my body
We are the savers of my life
So be it
Until the victory is mine and nothing remains
But peace
Peace of my heart
I said
