2011-03-04 美文欣赏：Crazy Things Seen on Runs 美文欣赏, crazy

Every now and then I'll see a runner doing something so crazy or ridiculously hard during a run that it makes me think, "Wow, my run is easy compared to THAT!" This happened a couple of weeks ago when I was running with my team in New York's Central Park and we spotted a guy running while dragging a tire that was attached to a rope around his waist. We saw him and his Michelin several times during our run, so he was definitely doing significant mileage with the tire, not just 100-meter sprints.

Races, especially marathons, tend to bring out the most adventurous runners because they know they'll have a bigger audience for their crazy antics. Beyond costumed runners, I've seen people who have juggled, yo-yoed, and carried a pizza box on the palm of their hand through an entire marathon. (Those were three different people - not one person doing all of that at once.)  I'm always grateful for the little extra boost that these crazy runners give me when I see them. Because, really, who wants to admit that they got beat by the guy who ran the entire race backwards?

It's almost March, which means spring weather should be right around the corner. But some parts of the U.S. are still experiencing cold and blustery weather, so runners are still spending lots of time on the treadmill. If you're really bored with indoor running, finding some new running tunes may help. Check out other runners' favorite running songs and get fellow runners pumped up for their runs by adding a few of your own.
