Take It and Run Thursday in 13 Words or Less
Thursday, April 24th, 2008
In honor of Runners’ Lounge Take It and Run Thursday, here is what I have learned about running in 13 words or less:
The rewards of running are worth the pain and frustration. …I think.
I know that the hard runs are worth it when they make it possible to have the really, really good runs. But it does seem like runners put our bodies and minds through all sorts of beatings. And yet even when I question why I run, I still run. I have to run. It’s become this inescapable part of who I am.
Hm, kind of sounds like some sort of chronic condition. Wow, I sure make running sound awesome, don’t I??
Some other possibilities:
Even when you question if it’s worth the trouble, keep running.
You may never simultaneously love and hate something more than running.
Those are my thoughts on the matter, or at least the best I can come up with at 8 a.m. on a rainy Thursday morning. I dare you to try and summarize your running/life/fitness philosophy into 13 words or less.
