Why I love to run...



1. It helps keep me in shape.
2. It makes me feel better physically and mentally.
3. It's my no. 1 incentive to stay a non-smoker no matter how bad I crave a cigarette.
4. It's my time to be by myself.
5. My time to meditate.
6. My time to become apart of nature -- to run into the forest on the paved (or unpaved) paths. Breathe in that smell of the forest.
7. My time when I don't have to think....just run.
8. No matter how short or long a distance I go, I am my own competitor.
9. I can set my own goals.
10. It can be done pretty much anywhere...just have a good pair of running shoes handy.
11. It's addicting.
12. Afterwards I feel like I deserve that glass of wine in the whirlpool tub.
13. I love to do it for ME. It's MY thing.
14. And my dog loves it too!
