I Run Because _____.

Gonna try not to get too deep and serious here. But it’s a topic Penny and I have been discussing lately. I’ve been the optimistic one lately because I’ve had – more or less – an injury-free 2014. Penny has been a little gloomy on the topic, as she works her way back from injury again and all the emotions that come with it. 

Why do I run?

Really, there are tons of reasons. And every day is different . . . 

I run because I’m in better shape at 33 than I was at 23.

I run to have fun. 

I run because I'm an athlete. 

I run because I want sunshine.

I run because I want the runner’s high. 

I run because I'm dedicated.

I run to get sexy racer back tan lines.

I run because I want a PR.

I run to look good.

I run to be healthy and fit.

I run to explore my surroundings. 

I run because then I get to eat 3,000 calories a day.

I run because it’s gorgeous outside.

I run because my training plan tells me to.

I run to race.

I run to wear bright colors.

I run because I’m a goal-driven overachiever.
