Why do I run because its fun, because it makes me feel good, because it is healthy, because it gives me a runners high. Because I get to wear comfortable shoes, it makes me feel good the rest of the day. I run in the morning, in the evening. because I get upset when i do not run, i feel guilty. I feel guilty a lot on the days that I am lazy like this morning and yesterday and Sunday. I run for the freedom of life, for the ability to see new sites, to see old sites. To go threw Central park on a daily basis and see the raccoons and the birds and the hawks. To see the other early birds to see the other people. to see what is going on in the world to get pissed off at cars who are in the park. I run so I can feel good about myself. I run to get faster to improve my time. I run to help myself help my self. I run to be part of a community. i run for the heck of it for the fun of it. I run for the world and the others and the wholeness of the experience. i run for the excitement of the runners high. I run for the pain of the long run. I run to drive myself. I run to go to races and wear numbers and I run to share myself with others to feel about my community. To run is the life of my life . I run for the experience. I love to run when it is 20 or 80 or sunny or cold or hot. To see the ice cycles and say I ran with shorts when it was 32. To wear to the cool running clothes. To wear the wicking clothing. To be alone int he park on a winters day. To say I have the park to myself. I run to experience the run.
