Half Marathon, Half Existential Inquiry

Half Marathon, Half Existential Inquiry

Author: Ramsey Zimmerman - Holistic and Natural Health Specialist, Author, and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner May 20, 2025 Duration: 8:01

Ever sit on the couch, totally exhausted and ponder the very nature of your existence? Yeah, me too. After running the Capital City Half-Marathon with about 2,000 of your closest friends, try watching a documentary like “A Glitch in the Matrix” now available on Prime Video, and see what that does to your ideas about reality. I had a great day, enjoyed not only running, but also seeing all the people cheering, holding up clever and funny signs, and generally supporting each other. Then I crashed on the couch and learned all about Simulation Theory and how maybe we’re all living in some futuristic genius kid’s Minecraft Server. Did I buy it … weeellllll. Have a listen and hear all about one of my best and most mind-bending days ever.
