Why we run

Why do I run?

I run because it makes me happy…it is the only time I really feel free in my life. I run because it keeps me fit, relieves stress and is simple and uncomplicated. While running I often resolve nagging issues in my mind and have my best creative ideas and insights. Running is like a moving meditation.

Running costs nothing, all running is free running!

I run to challenge myself and see how much further I can push my body and mind.

I run to see and be present in beautiful countryside and for the sheer unadulterated joy of existing in motion.

These are some of the reasons that I run, please feel free to comment here and tell me why you run.
