Gordon finally gets a chance to record a new show and rambles about the importance of taking the long view of your running–and life in general. Don’t let your life be defined by a single event and don’t let your running be defined by a single run. Look at the long-term cycles. In other words, don’t obsess over that dying tree that sits in the middle of a beautiful forest you have created.

Gordon breaks out of his running funk with a diatribe vigorously defending his stature as a runner, and making the assertion that runners look like those who run, short, tall, skinny, fat, if you run, you “look like” a runner…in other words, those hard bodies you see on the cover of Runners World do not represent the rank and file of the running community.
