you don't need a reason for everything

As I was having dinner with a few other college friends today at Bubba Gump today, I also watched a bit about the Forrest Gump story that they played on the LCD.

Then, it reminded me on what Jimmy had posted in the why-do-you-run.blogspot.com about Mr. Forrest.

“That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured, since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured, since I'd gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going.”

- Forrest Gump

And, then Mr. Forrest ran for 3 years 2 months before he decided to go home. :)

Run well this Sunday, whether it is 11km or 21.1km!
