Published: Oct. 13, 2012, 4 a.m.

Love, is a many splendored thing, it\u2019s all that matters, it\u2019s all around, it moves in mysterious ways, it\u2019s the answer, it makes no promises, it\u2019s blind, you can\u2019t buy it, it\u2019s not for sale, it takes it toll, you can\u2019t hurry it, it\u2019s not a game, it\u2019s a battlefield, it will keep us together, you can\u2019t help falling in it, it doesn\u2019t ask why, it hurts, and: \u201cI would do anything for love, but I won\u2019t do that\u201d.\n\nWhatever \u201cthat\u201d is.\n\nAs runners, we say that we \u201clove to run\u201d, as husbands, wives and partners we most certainly love our significant others, we love people, friends, family, parents, children, all creatures great and small, and we love things\u2026our magical revolutionary iThings, good wine, our running shoes, our town, our little blue bubble in space\u2026and of course, we love more ethereal things such as situations and experiences.\xa0\n\nBut what is this thing called love? \xa0When the alien robot overlords invade our planet, and they ask about this emotional connection we have to people, things and experiences\u2026what will we tell them?\n\nLinks:\n\nOctober 27th and 28th: Join us for the http://worldwidefestivalofraces.wordpress.com\xa0\n\nThe song \xa0\u201cTomorrow\u201d was by Black Lab off their album \u201cUnplugged\u201d.
