Why I run

It hurts.

I ran 10 miles today and it hurts, tomorrow is going to be interesting. The day after tomorrow is the worst, and it is my next training run. I run because I can. I run because it is something I am able to do, and I do OK at. Running pushes me to do more. That whole harder, better, faster (yes Daft Punk) thing. How will I find my boundaries if I do not go out and look for the fence?

Its fun. I do enjoy it, I would have stopped if I didn't. I can not put my finger on the fun part of it. The idea is fun, how do I define me - runner is one of my words. I like that. Not sure why.

I run for the same reason I went up the mountain. Ego. I like to do things that most people around me do not, cannot or will not do. Oh, I also like the health benefits. Its mostly ego and pain. The day after tomorrow I will do it again.

Because I can.
