Why Do I run?

Why Do I Run?

I do it because I am selfish...because I want to be healthy for me.

I do it because I want to lose weight.

I do it because I want to keep up with Noah as he learns to run.

I do it because I want to be around to nag my wife for as long as possible.

I do it because it's liberating.

I do it because it's about freedom.

I do it because I love it.

I do it because at 32 I want to have a 6 pack again.

I do it because my pants fit better.

I do it because I can.

I do it because it's how I find my rhythm.

I do it because no matter how fast or slow I am I feel like I have accomplished something.

I do it because I never want to be fat again.

I do it because it brings me joy.

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." 
-Jesse Owens
