Why Do You Run?

Why do I run? I guess it's the same reason I'd rather bike instead of drive. It's a chance to see the world through a new set of eyes. Familiar blacktopped roads, become an adventureland of new experiences. New sights can be seen, new sounds heard. Sometimes I run to find peace, to clear my head from the chaos of a busy day. Other times I run for adventure, to release adrenaline from a busy day. And sometimes I do it because I can, because the thought of not running is more unbearable then the challenge of running just one more mile.
Because to me, sitting is giving up. It holds little challenge, and it's not fulfilling. Anyone can sit and many choose too. But to run...To truly run and to find peace in your life and with yourself, that is an experience few will ever achieve. So, i guess the question should not be why do I run, instead, it should be why would I ever stop.

Its never too late to start running, or working out for that matter. The benefits from exercise are greater those that are found from sitting at a computer or watching tv. Get out and try something that once seemed impossible. Overcome the barriers that you have set in place in your mind and you will find your are capable of more then you ever realized.
