Run Because You Can
I was recently reading a column in Running Times magazine about runners who "run in honor" of a fallen soldier, departed loved one or someone else they might admire. The author of the column, Gordon Bakoulis, went on to write about the reasons why runners run. And her personal reason for running was because she could. I like that. That's a good reason. It's simple and to the point...I run because I can. I run because I have the physical ability to run. I run because I have the psychological fortitude (some would call it "insanity") to get out there and do it - even when I don't want to. I run because there are people in my life who can't or won't - the ones that can't, wish they could and the ones that won't...well, they don't know what they are missing out on.
