정치가, 선거가 우리에게 얼마나 중요한지 또 뼈저리게 느끼는 요즘인데. 꼴보기 싫어도 관심을 갖고 알고 참여해야 하는데. 이런 사태를 다시 직면하고 싶지 않다면. 회의감도 무력감도 접어두고. 녹색평론이라는 백신을 계속 맞아가면서.

정아은 작가의 책 <전두환의 마지막 33년>을 읽고 싶다.

What I Talk about When I Talk about Running

Right now I‘m aiming at increasing the distance Irun, so speed is less of an issue. As long as I can run acertain distance, that‘s all I care about. Sometimes I runfast when I feel like it, but if I increase the pace Ishorten the amount of time I run, the point being to letthe exhilaration I feel at the end of each run carry overto the next day.

I think ErnestHemingway did something like that. To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm. This is the important thing for long-term projects. Once you set the pace, therest will follow. The problem is getting the flywheel tospin at a set speed-and to get to that point takes asmuch concentration and effort as you can manage. - P5

[오늘의 한문장] What I Talk about When I Talk about Running (Mass Market Paperback, International Edition)

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Foreword

One runner told of a mantra his older brother, also arunner, had taught him which he‘s pondered ever sincehe began running. Here it is: Pain is inevitable. Suffer-ing is optional. Say you‘re running and you start tothink, Man this hurts, I can‘t take it anymore. The hurtpart is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not youcan stand any more is up to the runner himself. Thispretty much sums up the most important aspect ofmarathon running.

기존 시보다 많이 짧아졌다. 제목부터. 첫 시 <지각>이 가장 좋다. 뭐랄까 중고등학교 때 교과서에서 보던 시 같아 익숙하달까. 뒤편에 붙은 산문의, 작가가 거쳐 간 여러 도시들에 대한 단상도 인상적이다.
