Why Run Marathon


Since I started training for marathon and I would mention that to people; they always asked me "why run?". My twisted creative intent of mind started pondering for possible answers to give them. Though I am very clear in my mind on the goals for my run. I thought I would stir some of your thoughts. So here is little list I came up with on why I am running.

In the following posts; I will give more information on where I am running, How I am training, When I am running and what my experiences are? I will try to capture them in my following series of posts about my experience with marathon.

Talk back to me and tell me why you would run ? I will compile all the answers in the following posts.




Following are my reasons to run, what are yours ?

I run for my skinny jeans. I run for bathing suit season. I run for me. I run because it's the only thing that keeps me feeling skinny. I run because I don't have to listen to anyone for an hour. I run because my cousin, who I lost on 9/11, no longer can.

I stumbled across a quote that made me think of you...

"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs." - Jesse Owens
