I run because…

 I saw this on a t-shirt and thought it was amazing! I didn’t write it but it describes why I love to run.

 I RUN BECAUSE…

–I love not just the finish line, but the trip along the way

–it makes me feel free

–I’ve got energy to burn

–I need energy

–it’s my anti-depressant

–I hope my future children will

–I need an excuse to eat

–stopping would hurt so much more than a blister or a broken toenail

–walking takes too long

–my personal best is just that: MINE

–others can’t

–it’s a good kind of sore

–it makes the pavement feel needed

–there are a lot worse addictions out there

–there’s no better way to explore a city or enjoy the spring flowers and fall leaves

–I “just felt like runnin’”

–there’s no drug like adrenaline

–I’ll never know how far I can go unless I try

–the pavement doesn’t complain when you pound it

–it takes all I’ve got, but gives back more

–I CAN
