I read this analogy in an article last week, and I thought it was brilliant. It talked about the difference in runners: some are cats and some are dogs. You see, I am a cat. Does that surprise you?? And by cat I mean: I like to run solo, does my own thing, set my own pace, listen to fabulous tunes, and tune the world out. I like to be alone in my head. It is one of the only times that I do not have to think about one single thing. Not the dishes in the sink, the laundry piling up, the meals that need to be made, or the work that needs to be done. For those few miles – I am responsible to no one but Andrea. This means, I try not get run over, or trip… easier said than done.
Other of you are clearly dog runners; running in a pack, with friends, seemingly social runners. I commend you for this! It takes a lot of work to organize a group run – not to mention patience.
Don’t get me wrong – I love company. I am usually looking for a friend to join me at this race, or the other. It’s just when the gun goes off – I visit Andrealand. In racing, I have the every man for themselves mentality. Whether you’re slower, or much much faster… I will see you at the finish line.
May your day be filled with the appropriate paws.Andrea
