"I went back to my body, it just seemed the simplest thing to do. We live in a culture where the body is a second-class citizen. We've been split off from our bodies. Ever since we went to church, the body was bad, we had to save our soul. Then we went to school and all they ever cared about was our IQ or PSAT tests. And then we got into industry and you were either a blue-collar worker or a white-collar worker. So all the time the body is being degraded. Yet, we are our bodies. Our bodies are us. This is the only life we're gonna live and we live it physically. You can't believe how good I feel, what a playful, joyful experience running is to me....So the job, see, is to find out what is a joy to you as this running is to me..."
