COWEN: What was your sport?
DELL: I did cross country.
COWEN: Running?
DELL: Yes.
COWEN: What is it that outsiders are least likely to understand about the joys of running, say, a hundred miles?
DELL: I think that the reason that I really like running long distances are you can get out, explore nature. And in some ways, it’s like a very, almost a very meditative activity. In modern life, we tend to be very focused on what we have to do next, on where we’re going to.

Whereas, when you run long distances, all of that, in some sense, fades away, and you’re just focused on the activity of running, on where you are, and you stop worrying about what you’re going to do next, what happened previously. That, in some ways, is a very liberating experience.
