I Must Run Everywhere
I'm happy to introduce a new/old runner who is a prolific writer with a unique sense
of humor. Jim Johnson offered to republish a few of his articles from his blog, "I must Run Everywhere."
https://imustruneverywhere.com/
If you had enough money and didn’t have to work, what kind of lifestyle would you have? I’d live in the country and be a redneck.
Below is an example of my dream home. I’ve learned such homes are constructed in a way that I don’t have to go outside to enjoy the chirping of songbirds or a refreshing breeze.
Another big advantage is parking. I anticipate no problem squeezing in my many rigs.
Running along a quiet country road is what runners dream about. I’d get to do it every single day.
A big plus about the redneck lifestyle is the sense of community. Whenever I organize a barbecue, I’m sure I could count on my pal, Hank, to bring some extra seating.
Drinking beer around a bonfire with my fellow redneck runners would be so fun. Nearly every redneck home comes with plenty of bonfire fuel just outside the door, by the shop.
You don’t need trash cans at get-togethers. When you’re done with your beer, just toss and open another.
Come morning, cleanup is easy. Just rake, and it becomes a shiny pile of landscape art.
Another thing about redneck living is nature is just outside the door. They have trees and animals. Any time I want, I can go down by the river, drink beer and admire the beauty of nature.
The woods behind my house would surely be a great place to shoot varmints for fine, redneck eating. Oh, do I look forward to my dream lifestyle.
