Hej World Jestem Beti

Running through lifeI remember the exact moment I thought, „Where am I in such a hurry?” A day like any other… work in the morning, then shopping, lunch, laundry, cleaning… and dogs, so I run with them. The epiphany came at the age of 53. And I’ve been running like that my entire adult life. It’s easy to calculate, if I average 5,000 steps, which I think I do, then I’ve easily covered about 65,000 kilometers. Forest Gamp ran for 3 years before he woke up… and you? How many more kilometers will you do with your eyes closed? Because that’s the point: there’s no point in it. You don’t run because you enjoy it. You don’t run for your health. For a statue or for medals. You run to die. Without stopping. You don’t see the flowers blooming beautifully alongside the road you’re running on. The weather or the season doesn’t matter because you’re not thinking about it. Your thoughts are either in the past, which you can’t change, or the future, which may never exist. But you run, forgetting to live.
