The run of your life
Life must be lived forwards, as the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard put it. That's exactly what this book is about. Of course, we occasionally fall or stumble. But the more important question is: What gets you back on your feet? What makes you want to run again? We humans are not made to stand still. Running is in us. And once you get going, you quickly realise: When you're running, you're in the here and now. It feels good!
I myself have found that running has helped me through many crises and challenges. Thanks to running, I was able to focus on the essentials, to recognise what is important. Or just forget what is bothering me at the moment: crises, self-doubt, failure, loss. When we lace up our running shoes, we have a whole new strength. We trust in life. That's what it's about. In the Gospel of Mark, it says, ‘All things are possible for those who believe.’ Peter Tauber
