You know that you’re addicted to running when your consciousness is tuned in to things that are related to running. Take this for instance. After training yesterday at the indoor track of the Moro Lorenzo Sports Complex at Ateneo (ULTRA was closed from 7am onwards due to a sportsfest), I decided to see Iron Man. I mean it was the first day that it was showing and everyone was hyped about seeing it. Anyway, as Tony Stark was about to test his armor suit for flight he is interrupted by his artificial intelligence about the risks of flying… and Tony Stark goes… “sometimes you got to run before you can walk…” See it here:

I also saw “The Forbidden Kingdom” starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan. There was a scene that Jackie was ill and dying. In order to save him, he needed his elixir. So the Master of the temple sent out a walking monk to look for the elixir. Jackie goes, “don’t you have a running monk?” Hehe… Here in the Philippines, we have a running priest.
