Abs Swims, Bikes and Runs

"I may not hear the Rocky theme song, or see the sunset anywhere, but for me, this may be a sort of conclusion. An understated, rainy-day-sneakers sort of conclusion. An anticlimax, if you will. But the long and the short of it is that this kind of conclusion fits who I am. I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. One day, out of the blue, I started to run. Simply because I wanted to." Murakami

More on Joy

It's 6:03 AM...the sun is gently pushing aside his duvet and the first rays are nudging the clouds and twilight away...the water on my left occasionally sparkles like friendly winking Aldis lamps of old...welcoming a new day. And I'm on the road with Springsteen belting out Thunder Road. Far from shattering the simple and almost inexplicable dignity of the surroundings, the Boss manages to increase the sensation of being in a time and place where there is nothing other than the crisp, clean air, the first warm rays of the sun, the gentle sound of my shoes hitting the tarmac and stillness.

What if anything can trump this sensation?
