Why I Run

Why do you run?

That is always a good question.

One I ask myself on some days.

But, trust me, I have some good reasons. 

Reason {One}

It gives me an hour to spend with God. 

I love running because I take the opportunity to listen to my favorite and most encouraging music.

God seems to speak to me when I am running. 

There are no distractions.

If I am outside I see his creation and if I am on the treadmill I think about what he wants for me.

I need this hour at least 3 - 4 times a week. 

Not for my physical heart buy my spiritual heart.

Reason {Two}

Duh, Physical Fitness!

It gives you a feeling that you are strong and physically able to do anything. 

Knowing you can go run 6 miles {any time} is empowering

Reason {Three}

I have to be ready to escape the bad guys!

Ok so thats a little silly, but somedays when I am running I think about how if I were being chased, my running plus adrenaline would certainly carry me through. 

Reason {Four}

It gives you something to accomplish all on you own.

{except for the help of you trainer, thanks Zach!}

When you finish a half marathon for the first time you get a feeling like no other.

And I am not talking about the feeling to drop dead haha
