Over the course of the last month, I have read several blogs that have talked about reasons for running and they got me thinking. Why do I run? Do I have a choice? Sure I have a choice, but I wouldn't be the person that I am today if I didn't run. God put running in my life for a reason, and I think that reason was to make me a better person. Running gives me time to think, provides me with a sense of accomplishment, helps me stay healthy, inspires me, pushes me both physically and mentally, hurts, leaves me filled with endorphins, allows me to relax and
destress, makes me a better husband, strengthens my faith, and makes me happy. The more I think about running, the less I think it is a choice for me. It is a part of who I am. There are times that I wonder why I put myself through the long runs, cold weather, and hill repeats, especially when my IT Band flares up and leaves me riding the stationary bike for weeks on end, but then I remember how lucky I am to be able to run. Thanks to the Lord, I have been blessed with good health and good fortune, and I strive to avoid taking even the smallest things for granted. I encourage everyone to pursue their passion. Enjoy the journey and check out the blogs listed below that inspired me to write this post! Also, why do you run?
Running Makes Me a Better Husband!!
