So here's my advice to city planners. Make your city runnable. Runners are the first wave of troops bringing human activity back to the urban core of any city. Where we go, others will follow. The connection between runnability and livability is so clear (at least to me), that it's surprising that new developments consistently leave pathways out of the plans.

There's no such thing as a bad carbohydrate.

Coaches know that a parent publicly scolding his kid after a race will not help the athlete perform better.

Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.

I know runners who have suffered a tick bite and ended up with Lyme disease. Ill take an angry moose any day.

We (ultra runners) alternate between depression and stupidity.

If you run 100 miles a week, you can eat anything you want - Why? Because (a) you'll burn all the calories you consume, (b) you deserve it, and (c) you'll be injured soon and back on a restricted diet anyway.
