b'The universe is different for runners, because we have a far more personal relationship with it.\\nNon-runners can jump on a bike, in a car, on a boat, strap themselves into a plane or a rocket, and discuss the many miles they\\u2019ll travel in shorter periods of time: but a runner has to work at it.\\nA runner has to take her or his own body, with only the fuel pumping through our own blood streams across the distances of miles and many miles\\u2026we are creatures who move under our own power across distances that many of our species no longer treks through. \\xa0\\nThis is kind of a big deal. \\xa0\\nI wanted to talk to you about space and time because when you\\u2019re out there, on the road, you are running across a beautiful blue planet that every form of life we have ever known about, has ever lived upon. \\xa0We assume that there is life on other worlds, but we don\\u2019t know that for certain.\\nWhat we do know for certain is that we have this one life, limited by a short duration, and we can chose to live it without passion, just getting through our days, waiting until it\\u2019s eventual end: or we can BURN, we can savor each moment, find joy in small moments every day, and live our lives to the absolute top. \\xa0\\nI propose we chose the latter. \\xa0I say we burn, that we shine as blinding lights for others, making the universe just a little bit better than it was before we got here, and letting our light shine brightly, blindingly on others, inspiring them to live their own lives to the top, not with fear or envy and sadness, but with true joy: joy for having this time, this short, sweet time, to live and love and dance and run and drink it all in like a Grand Crus Bordeaux, because life is too short to drink cheap wine and far too precious to wallow in gloom.\\nI\\u2019m not telling you something you don\\u2019t already know. \\xa0But if this podcast meant anything to you, I hope you\\u2019ll think deeply about your place in the universe and the incredibly wonderful opportunity you have, as living, breathing matter; as a part of the universe that has evolved to know itself, and how great it is to be alive. \\xa0\\nBurn fellow runners, burn like the stars we are born from, burn like you\\u2019ve only got 0.16 seconds of life to live, and burn through the disappointment, pain, suffering, sadness, and exhaustion that you will experience: because this is our time, now\\u2026today, and this is the only time you\\u2019ll ever get on this side of the mortal coil to be a good animal, to achieve true happiness and to savor the time of your life.\\nLinks:\\nhttp://visav.phys.uvic.ca/~babul/AstroCourses/P303/BB-slide.htm\\nhttp://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/02/what-is-time/\\nhttp://www.eliserd.com\\nhttp://nutritionsuccess.org\\xa0\\nhttp://www.irunnerblog.com/category/nutrition-nerd/\\nHappenings:\\nJune 16th: Liberty Loco \\u2013http://arunningskeptic.blogspot.com\\xa0\\nJuly 7th \\u2013 8th \\u2013 The Run For Stone - http://www.runforstone.blogspot.com\\nSEE NEIL BLOG, BLOG NEIL, BLOG: http://neilbearse.com\\nONLY IF YOU LIKE IT: Phedippidations is supported every month through the very kind and sincerely generous financial support of 24 fellow runners:\\xa0\\nVera, Katie, Heather, Ryan, Jan, Chaise, Andie, Gordon, Scott, Mike, David, Jeff, Colin, Jason, Diane, Manuel, Mark, Martha, Greg, Jim, Maddy, Tim, Bill and Kevin.\\nTHANK YOU! {http://support.steverunner.com}\\nFollow me on:\\xa0\\nBlog: http://steverunnerblog.com\\nTwitter: http://twitter.steverunner.com\\nFacebook: http://facebook.steverunner.com\\nPlus: http://plus.steverunner.com\\nPinterest: http://pinterest.steverunner.com\\nStream: http://stitcher.steverunner.com\\nJux: http://jux.steverunner.com\\nApple App: http://iapp.steverunner.com\\nAndroid App: http://android.steverunner.com\\nSupport: http://support.steverunner.com\\n\\n\\u201cA Matter of Time\\u201d by Chris Yale - twitter @chrisyale - website: http://chrisyale.com'
