i run...

i run because it shows me just how much i am able to overcome. how much i am able to push myself.

i run because it helps me be more productive and focus better.

i run because it is time for me to be alone with my thoughts, to mentally process my day or work through issues that may be bothering me.

i run because it puts me more in tune with my body and teaches me about endurance.

i run because of the "runners high." the release of endorphins is enough take me to a point where pain turns to pleasure.

i run because it is a blissful state of motion.

i run because the bravery it takes to push myself farther than imaginable, is empowering.

i run because it causes stress to completely dissolves. i think more clearly about life.

i run because it helps boost my immune system.

i run because it is time to model perseverance, health, determination, and strength to my boys.

i run because it is sweet time to worship. i feel closest to God in these moments.

i run because it gives me energy during a season in life where i am in need of any
additional boost that i can get.

to run is to experience freedom.

i have formed a bond that will last a lifetime.
