The Peripatetic Runner
[\ˌper-ə-pə-ˈte-tik\]: wandering from place to place
"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle…
When the sun comes up, you’d better be running."
~ Abe Gubegna, as quoted in Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run.
