Obsession is lauded in America, but it isn't categorically healthy. I like the open-ended nature of this. https://www.irunfar.com/2019/08/some-thoughts-on-obsession.html
Trail Running
" Sometimes it seems that the more I run, the less I write—both pursuits require muscle, and muscle requires consistent exercise to maintain; there are only so many hours in the day, and for the past three years, I’ve given running most of the free ones. This can feel like an acceptable (temporary) tradeoff until moments like this when I have a thousand things I want to say, and no idea how to begin putting them into words. The blank page, like the opening of an ultra, can exhilarate and terrify me in the same breath. "
" Before the race, I’d avoided thinking about it because I wanted to staunch the fear and manage the stress. But during the race,I had unknowingly slipped into a place of “just not thinking about it.” I was engaged strategically: my mind visited all kinds of places, but never the place of projection, expectation and suffering. Will I plan a little better next time? Sure, but there is also something to be said to leaving some things unknown. You can only plan so much—the rest you just have to face when you get there.
This is what’s so great about long ultras: to get through them, you have to figure out how to get through them. You may follow a marked course, but the journey is the one you create for yourself, the true challenge, navigating the landscape of of your heart and mind. And if you’re very lucky, and have the support of friends and loved ones, you can simply move, soaking in the experience, from one aid station to the next."
