A Stupid Discussion That Was Still Compelling
In the English office last week, a novice runner asked a question that had never occurred to me: "When you go out for a run, when do you start running?" and it turns out that many people have "starting points," such as the end of the driveway, where they begin and end their run . . . I tend to start running as I am going out the door, I jog down the steps and cut across the lawn . . . and maybe this is because of all the preparation I do before the run-- iPod, sunglasses, hands-free-dog leash/belt, poop bag, hat, orthotic inserts, etcetera . . . so that by the time I get out the door, I am impatient and fully "in the mode," but now I know that this isn't always the case . . . when and where do you start running when you go out for a run?

I get all my shit on, walk up the driveway and start running after my GPS locks in at the end of my driveway.
I'm still figuring out where to start.
you should start at the end of squeaky's driveway.
I start running when the cops' lights go on
or hiding in the back of a truck, throwing bottles.
Isn't the fact that there was no running at all the key to that start? Just sitting in place like a dolt paid off.
start. story. whatever. I give up.
running=suspicious
So is no sentence.
