My search was (trail running)
The narrative looks like this...
The title of my narrative would be "Running Shoes" very little substantive information came up on the first page about
actually running. The information was all about shoes. The first chapter of my book would be called "shoes, buying the
right ones" the next chapter would be called "how you know if they fit" and the third chapter would be "try them out for
a few days, but do not run because you could die"There was hardly any information about actually running it was all information
about shoes and where to buy shoes. Nearly all the sites were owned by shoe companies. The overarching theme in my narrative
would be how one can appear to run and do all the motions of a runner with out actually running.

The next few pages in the search order were about injuries that happen to runners. Not until page five does the actual information start.
i.e where to go, tips for nutrition, times of year that are best for certain areas, what to bring, miles to a hospital, wild life
in the area and so on.
I would like to point out the harsh reality of the first three pages of my search results. look around at school and see how
many people are wearing running shoes who look like they either have no athletic ability or have never run a day in their life
and are still wearing the shoes. This is crazy to me, it would be like a NASCAR driver wearing his race suit to school, or
a gymnast wearing hand chalk pads around all day.
The narrative would eventually move into actual running about search page 15 or "chapter 15" where sites begin to appear
about signing up for a run, or fun trails to run in your area. This narrative seems almost backwards to me. The narrative
would little connecting information from one chapter to the next and would simply be a random collection of chapters about running
shoes. Perhaps this is precisely the reason why so many people want to run so they buy the shoes and then do not know
what the next step is.
Apparently my text wrapping code is having issues.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there is such a huge community of runners--especially in Utah. People love it. I can see the appeal the sport has. Its interesting what a Google search yields on the topic. Too bad someone has to muddle through all the shoe-retailer garbage to get real information on the topic.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like running is very commercial (like all things) I look at all of these advertisements for races around the state, and can't help but wonder how much people are paying to go run. I don't run so I don't understand the need to pay to run, but hey to each their own. I've noticed that about a lot of things it seems like actually doing the activity is an after thought next to all the hype and equipment you buy in order actually do that particular activity.
