살기에는 팍팍한 사계절이지만, 좋아하는 일을 하면서 보내면 한결 낫다. 아니 고맙다. 늘 똑같은 달리기도 사계절이 있어서 지겹지 않다. 과연 좋아하는 것을 더 좋아하게 만들어주는 사계절이다.

"이 세상에는 각종 러닝 꿀팁, 이것만 쓰면 무조건 잘 달릴 거라는 신상, 훈련 비법, 고수가 되는 지름길 같은 것들이 넘쳐난다. 이런 걸 해야 하고 훈련은 어떻게 해야 한다는, 뭘 먹어야 좋고 이런 자세로 달려야 한다는, 수도 없이 많은 ‘설說’들이 있다. 이런 말들은 러너들을 헷갈리게 할 뿐 아니라 결국 러너들을 달리기의 본질에서 점점 멀어지게 한다. 달리기란 결국 단 한 마디 말로 요약할 수 있다. 우리를 끊임없이 앞으로 나아가게 만드는 것은 마음가짐mindset이란 것. 오른발, 왼발."

[오늘의 한문장] The Summer Book : A Novel

Grandmother wasn‘t afraid of falling or losing her way, but she knew the darkness was absolute, and she knew what it was like when you lose your hold and there’s nothing left to go by. All the same, she said to herself, I know perfectly well what everything looks like. I don’t have to see it. - P137

[오늘의 한문장] The Summer Book : A Novel

Every year, the bright Scandinavian summer nights fade away without anyone noticing.
One evening in August you have an errand outdoors, and all of a sudden it’s pitch-black.
A great warm, dark silence surrounds the house.
It is still summer,but summer is no longer alive.
It has come to a standstill; nothing withers, and autumn is not ready to begin.
There are no stars yet, just darkness.
The can of keroseneis brought up from the cellar and left in the hall,and the lamp is hung up on its peg by the door.(August) - P133

[오늘의 한문장] The Summer Book : A Novel

It was a pretty day, and the sea was running a long, windless swell. It was on days just like this—dog days—that boats went sailing off all by themselves. Large, alien objects made their way in from sea, certain things sank and others rose, milk soured, and dragonflies danced in desperation. Lizards were not afraid. When the moon came up, red spiders mated on uninhabited skerries, where the rock became an unbroken carpet of tiny, ecstatic spiders. (Day of Danger) - P129
