Running is Life

Why I run?

For me, running has always be a meditative act, when I run, I think. Most of my creative ideas are written in my head while running.

Running also makes me feel empowered and resilient. There is no greater sense of satisfaction than what you get from setting a personal goal and conquering it. The runner’s high really does exist, both immediately after a run and in the longterm—from the confidence that crossing finish lines gives you that carries over into your daily life. When you accomplish hard things, you realize that you have the strength to not let anything get you down.

Running brings me community and awareness. It has connected me with so many other runners, both in person through running groups and online. It has made me aware of the many charities that people run for, the causes that are close to their hearts and drive them towards pushing through mile after mile when it gets tough.
