Running right through the world

The perfect stride
Runners, from what I've observed, seem to be the craziest athletes alive. I use alive lightly as the slightest shove can shatter, crush, or vaporize their bones. Their dedication can be quite alienating because it is so extreme. American culture tends to look down upon obsession if someone runs every day even in the winter people comment that they are crazy. Our culture seems to be full of people not trying their best because social stigmas have caused them to grow up thinking putting your heart into something is a bad idea. These guys have been running since they were born and they will give anything to be the best, why can't society try its best I'm sure if everyone was as dedicated as these men are life standards would be better. The coach in this article has hardly ever missed a day and his push has made him content with himself.
