Something profound

So much for the week to week commentary about me and the weather, although the temperature is getting into the high 20s this holiday weekend and one should be outside enjoying it.
Anyway, I thought I'd take a new route and try to say some profound stuff where I'm touting myself as a founder.
Let's start with the question of the day, why do people run? Good question, eh?
A friend of mine said he thought about getting into running, but commented that any runners he saw weren't smiling, so that doesn't look like any fun.
Somebody asked my 92 year old father if he ever did any running and he said, "no, we always stood there and fought".
When Armstrong the moon walker was asked about running, he said, "you only get so many heartbeats in a life time, so why waste them on running".

So, what might we learn from this? Well for me, I'm not a fighter, so I'll keep running and if I run properly* my heart will become more efficient and beat less. But, I too have lots to do on the smiling side. Maybe I'll start by clowning it up and make someone laugh along the way and maybe I'll smile too.
