Why do you run. Why should you. Your Choice.
We have all heard this question. We have all asked ourselves. Why do we run? Why do you run? Why do I run? The reasons change from day to day, season to season and they keep growing.
With the help of some thoughts I found on a Running Forum out there in the scary www, here are just some reasons. You may have more, and by all means, feel free to share them
There are no tricks. Run because you have to. Run because you love it. Run because you want to be fast. Run because you want to be skinny. Run to find some quiet time. Run to sweat. Run to eat. Run hear your heart pound in your ears. Run because you're a runner. Run because you gotta keep the streak. Run because you don't know why the hell you're running. Run because you fought with your partner. Run because your job is shitty. Run because you got no money. Run for the sunrise. Run for a race. Run because it's impossible. Run because it's easy. Run instead of doing the laundry. Run instead of watching TV. Run because no one else understands. Run because the cool kids do it. Run because you're tired of talking. run for numbers. Run for feel. Run to prove something. Run because it hurts so good. Or don't run. If you really do have something better to do.
