Running
A simple machine for thinking, provided you do not turn every run into a test.
It meets trail work, coaching, and the long projects that need a daily threshold.
Distance runners often already know how to be bored on purpose.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside running reads “boredom used as a tool.” It tends to meet hiking, and teaching.
Work that shares the table
A book that keeps it company
The Creative Habit, Twyla Tharp. Read it beside running: Ritual and repetition, from a dancer who treats practice as the whole point.
