It’s National Running Day, a day for runners everywhere to celebrate their passion for running. I did that this morning by getting up with the sun and sneaking in 3 miles before Husband went to work and the kids woke up. My schedule is not as flexible now that school is out, but I just had to get my run in on National Running Day!
Sunrise this morning. Ahh.
I never thought I’d be a runner. I used to be the laziest person ever motivationally challenged. Now I LOVE to run. I’m not fast. I’m not going to win any races but I love to get out there and go. I can think of endless reasons why; but here are 10 random ones that get me moving:
I run because it’s fun.
I run for that elusive runner’s high.
I run for my heart.
I run for my butt (to keep it slim – ahem).
I run to get away.
I run for clarity.
I run for charity.
I run to set a good example for my kids.
I run because it’s sexy.
I run because I can.
Why do you run? I’d love to know …

I run because it is good for my body and my mind! It makes me strong.

Excellent! Me, too! Smiles!

I run because of that feeling of your leg muscles stretching and working when you first set out on a run. I swear it is one of the greatest feelings in the world!
Wifey
Priceless!

I run to eat. That still counts, right?

As long as there’s a drink to go with it. *winks*

I run to feel alive! I am a stay at home mom to two wonderfully, busy little boys. Now that school is out, I’m hitting the pavement at 6:00 am. I love watching the sunrise and spending time with myself. Yea, the runner’s high is awesome, but it is this alone time where I feel like me, Carrie. Not mommy, wifey, chauffeur, referee, etc. Just me, and I’m alive and it feels great!
