I was an ordinary person who, in his thirties, begins to realize that many childhood dreams will remain dreams. That the guaranteed mileage of the body donated by nature will soon end, illnesses will come, and with them weakness and despondency. That year goes by year, but life does not change. Something is missing. Something simple and practical, very easy to do and doesn’t depend on anyone. So magical that it just - bam - and changed your whole life. I, like everyone else, was looking for my magic pill. And then one day I put on my sneakers and ran. I ran and life really began to change. I began to understand many things differently. The feeling of confidence, excitement, and struggle returned. Surprisingly, in just a year of running everything fell into place. Did I learn something new? No. Just running gave new sensations, and with them a different understanding of life. Dmitry Safiollin
