it's just the way it feels. when i'm running, i'm not apart of the human race i'm just me. i don't run to get away. ok sometimes i do i run to think i run to feel revived i run to forget pain and i run to remember to hold on
i feel some days just completely lost nad when i do, my running shoes and shorts are waiting and ready. i've never had to hunt for them. they're always in the same place.
i run to break my time i run to break my limits to go beyond what my body wants so i tell myself "stop now and stop life. you don't need that road." i'll stop for a breather and then keep going. i've been through two accidents both of which doctors told me i wouldn't be able to run again. i cried and after rehab, i returned that day to the track alone and started again. it felt as natural as breathing. second nature.
i still run everyday. i can't not run. if i don't, i feel weird and can't sleep. but the reason i run, it's the freedom i get from it.
