Why run.
The answer to that question is difficult.
'Because that's where the road is.'
I can only think of clichés that someone else has said.
~Sunday Sunset Running~
Sunday evening.
I like to run at this time of the day best.
Because it's a fitting end to the week.
My partner is the Nike Revolution.
Why Nike?
Just 'cause it's cool.
I tightened my partner's laces and I walked out.
The sun's last remaining glare in the west like the last embers of the sun.
Soon the sun will be setting and the day will come to an end.
Actually, I have another partner.
Light flashing silently in your pocket.
SuperWalk、STEPNGO、HEAL3……
They give me the energy to run.
I start the app and I start ticking light steps.
The slightly sweaty temperatures are, on the contrary, pleasant.
The hot wind should turn to a pleasant cool breeze as the sun sets.
The rhythm of the footsteps at the most comfortable speed.
My buddy Revolution is looking good today.
They respond to my ticking rhythms with a soft rebound.
The rhythms I tick are very precise.
When the distance meter said three kilometres.
The time memory tells 20 minutes.
This is where we say goodbye to one of our partners - STEPNGO.
Thank you, STEPNGO.
If it wasn't for you, I might not have started running today.
From here, SuperWalk and HEAL3 will support me.
When the distance meter said seven kilometres.
Feet began to lag just half a step behind the rhythm.
I quietly reach into my pocket.
Dexterously launching the music player from your phone.
Today's music is 'Messenger from Sunday'.
This suits Sunday evenings best.
(Will you take me somewhere far away from here, you, you, you...)
The sound is a little bit sad and somewhat reverberant, and it resonates with me.
I change the rhythm once more, and the tempo.
When the sun sets and darkness envelops the area
The distance meter said 15 kilometres.
'Is this about right?'
Sunday Sunset Running ends here.
This is my favourite time of the week.
Why run.
I think we can answer that question clearly now.
'Because that's where the app is.'
