Born to run
A while ago one of my friends asked me if I’m reading any kind of books. I had to face a fact, that for a while (about a year and a little bit more) I haven’t had any kind of so called “book” in my hands, except those multimedia design and communication materials for studies (books and articles about: programming, overall design, business, communication). Basically everything, what was needed to read in the field I’m professionalizing in.
Recently I found a book, which caught not only my mind senses but also eye with it’s cover. I knew that I have to read, think it felt like seeing a first twilight book for a teenage girl. The book is called: “Born to run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen” and was written by Christopher McDougall. Sounds overwhelming doesn’t it?
Actually it doesn’t matter how epic it might sound, but what lies in this book was really unexpected for me. It contains knowledge of how to do it properly and how it was and still done for centuries by early civilizations. So what was I expecting from it? – hard to tell, but something not that “a new way of running”. Just started reading, hope it will lift up my expectations and make the time spent worth doing that.
Not really sure if I should recommend this book, but what I can strongly advice is to watch a video of Christopher McDougall speaking honestly and funny at google authors:

This blog is a pure example of how random digital and real lifes can be: amazing fusion between them is what inspires me. Combining semi-personal reviews with general creativity, inspiration and a bit of procrastination I am trying to publish something interesting for a random person, no matter who she or he is.
