搜索───“Thatday, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So,I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there, I thought maybeI'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'djust run across Greenbow County. And I figured since I run this far,maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's whatI did. I ran clear across Alabama. For no particular reason, I justkept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, Ifigured since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, justkeep on going. When I got to another ocean, I figured since I've gonethis far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going. When Igot tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go, youknow, I went. My mama always said you got to put the past behind youbefore you can move on. And I think that's what my running was allabout. I had run for three years, two months, 14 days, and 16hours”.───
