Jeder Läufer kennt diesen Moment, wenn es einfach klickt. Wenn deine Beine einfach mitgehen, der Schmerz nachlässt, die Zweifel weg sind und du nur noch das Runners High spürst. Das ist der Grund, warum du so früh aufstehst. Warum dich ein bisschen Regen nicht auffällt. Warum Laufen zum Ritual wird. Also laufe und fühle das Runners High.
Wir reistenen weit wie Clans und es war wir, die in den nächsten Clan reisen mussten, die schon dort lebten. Und sie sagten, was ist denn da los? Du hast keinen von diesen? Aber der Handel hat sich verändert. Jemand sagte eines Tages, nein, der Handel ist dieser Rock. Du kannst mir fünf dieser großen Lagen geben und du kannst mir drei dieser Kälber geben.

Bis zum nächsten Mal.
