It was like a light bulb and it was so clear right from the first thought of

oh my god Ann why don't you set a running club before that homeless shelter and I'm

oh no it literally just said you just thought it right to just

no other time before there was which which is which is absolutely acid on because

homeless people don't run of course exactly but to me I saw my dad and these guys I knew how running well they might run from the police

That well that's you know that joke has been said well I mean honestly you know Yeah, I mean no honestly, you know.

Yeah, I mean, no one, this is why, and we'll get to that, but this is why this idea,

the city of Philly and then the nation became fascinated with it because it breaks your brain.

You're like, what do you mean people who are

homeless are going out running in the morning? It doesn't equate because people who

are runners are disciplined, focused, overachievers, type A, you know,

reliable. Exactly and when you know, reliable. Those are not the homeless.

And when you describe, tell me what you think when I say the word homeless,

you say, lost, lazy, drunk, addict, all of these negative connotations,

so they don't fit.

It breaks people's brains when they think about the idea

of somebody whose homeless is running.
