An obsession that only certain individuals feel compelled to partake in. The individuals may or may not be large consumers of Coca Cola, but probably are. A past time that provides some kind of euphoric feeling for obsessors who look back upon past runs. Running provides more euphoria, for some reason, when the distance that has been run is longer rather than shorter.
Those who participate in running have a compulsive drive for
continuous improvement.

hamstring injury, even though Dave had
not yet outrun every 10K record ever set.
