More like that ABBA song, that when all is said and done, even when I am at the crossroads, there is no more need to run.
Instead, I now run for the joy of it. I wish I had liked it way back when living in Zurich with the woods behind our apartment in Wangen. Nonetheless, it's not too late and today I had one of the best runs of my life. It's slightly over 2 kms from the hotel to the Lincoln Memorial here in Washington DC.
I have been in Washington DC two, three times before but never got here. So, it's a real pleasure to meet this giant statue, befitting the legend of the man. The memorial fittingly resemble a Greek temple. Lincoln freed a people and then united the country.
So it made a lot of sense that 2 Asians and 6 Caucasians of 4 nationalities ran together. Setting off at 6;30am with a bunch of colleagues (2 women, who led the way, and 6 men) we took just a little over 10 minutes to the memorial and another 10 minutes back. In fact, I set a record of doing 6mins/km this run.
More running to come, of the joyous kind! :-)
