RUNNING IS LIKE A MELODY

RUNNING IS LIKE A MELODY
Running contributes an immense metaphor for life. You set an objective, and then you get to work out. It's a mental game, too. There are setbacks along the way, but the right test of a runner is how you overcome and push past them. Running is about the determination of our own inner peace, and so is a life well lived. Running is one of the most primitive competencies that living beings possess. Even today it is a very positive recreation for a healthy life.It improves overall health, of which psychological health is a much-cherished part.
Running is like melody, harmony-both is capable of infinite varieties of moods. We can run in enthusiastic joy, or in solemn meditation. Running can be about freedom of movement in contact with Nature, or it can be about the discipline and willpower of competitive effort on a road or track. It can give the rich companionship of running with friends or the equally rich solitude of running alone. It is a significant part of the lives of millions of people worldwide. Surely it deserves literature to express and celebrate these different moods and meanings. Poets have written about running ever since Homer and Pindar in Ancient Greece many years ago, and have sought to make running as memorable and vivid in words as it is in action.
