Why We Run

I can't believe it's been exactly one week since I ran at Ala Moana Beach Park. 

It seems like an eternity ago. Running while on Oahu reminded me of what it means to be a runner. It's not about running fast (I don't). It's not about running slow (I do). It's not primarily for competition, for therapy, or for play. We run, not because we want to, but because we have to. It's become innate. We know of no other way to live. 

I'm not a particularly gifted athlete. But I am tenacious. And in running, that can take you a long way.
