I just finished Suzie Chan’s book and the last 2 minutes was probably my favorite part of the book and sums up the question- “Why do you run?”
Some days I run for fun, but other days it is a chore.
Running is going thru emotions, blank them, think about them, to avoid them,
Run to take yourself away from life
Run to numb feelings
Run to make yourself feel alive
Run to feel part of something
Run to feel spending isolation
It strips you down, builds you up, humbles you, it gives you confidence,
Running lifts you up, and breaks your heart,
Running expects nothing of you
Why do I run… I run because I can
It is ongoing. It changes with you and gives you back what you put in.
