Regarding your post; I really thing running is addictive. In Costa Rica (from where I come from) there was a guy who was a drug addict for many years; you know, marijuana, crack, the whole. At some point he decided to quit and for some reason took up running. He became so obsessed with it that actually turned to be a pretty good runner. A trainer “discovered” him running up a hill (it’s impossible to avoid hills in Costa Rica) faster than anybody else he had ever seen, took him under his care and made him one of Costa Rica’s best runners ever. Twelve years ago or so he won the Los Angeles Marathon; I believe he finished 10th in the 1988 Olympics Marathon.

So, I guess obsession should not be a bad thing in all cases.

Take care,

Rafael.

P.S. I say all these thing about obsession because probably I tend to become obsessed too.
