I am a disciple of Dr. George Sheehan, I\u2019m not ashamed to tell you that, I\u2019ve read and re-read everything the man has written\u2026and I\u2019ve come to know him in a comfortable, familiar way.\n\xa0\nA man of science and medicine; a man filled with great passion for this sport and a devoted Roman Catholic\u2026Dr. Sheehan and I have a lot in common; but while I yearn to be a writer and use this podcast as a creative outlet: I will never come close to the writer that he was\u2026I will never approach the level of philosophical understanding of life, the universe and everything that he understood so well.\xa0 Dr. Sheehan was a great thinker\u2026I\u2019m merely a doofus.\n\xa0\nBut Dr. Sheehan was also human, and prone to human error, selfishness and sin.\xa0 He understood his weaknesses\u2026he understood his imperfections and he didn\u2019t live his life in wonder and celebration of those sad, dark and lonely attributes: but he did seek to understand himself and to understand how and why to love others.\n\xa0\nToday, I\u2019m going to read one of the final chapters of his book \u201cRunning and Being: The Total Experience\u201d.\xa0 I\u2019m doing so in the hopes that you might buy his book and read carefully what he wrote.\xa0 Profound, enlightening and brutally honest: this is the Dr. Sheehan that I\u2019ve never met, but who over the past 11 going on 12 years of my running life I\u2019ve come to know very well.\n\xa0\nShow Links:\n\xa0\nYou can purchase the book \u201cRunning and Being \u2013 The Total Experience\u201d by Dr. George Sheehan, at \n\xa0\n\n\xa0\nOr for $20 US (including shipping and handling) through \n\xa0\nSend a check or money order payable to \u201cThe George Sheehan Foundation\u201d to \n\xa0\nGeorge Sheehan Foundation\xa0 \nP.O.
