I Run

January 1, 2012, 54 degrees and sunny... I run.





  • I run because I can.
  • I run because one day I can't.
  • I run because of the its rhythm.
  • I run because of my past.
  • I run for my future.
  • I run because there are no mountains.
  • I run because of the mountains.
  • I run because there are no refs.
  • I run because there are no rules.
  • I run because there are no sidelines or "out of bounds."
  • I run because there are skyscrapers.
  • I run to feel the sun on my face.
  • I run to shower in the rain.
  • I run because of Ryan Hall.
  • I run because of the 300 pound guy who gets off the couch determined to run his first mile.
  • I run to escape.
  • I run to reflect.
  • I run because without a language or creed I join a brotherhood of Kenyans, Chinese, South Africans, Brazilians, and the native chasing his food in the remote jungle.
  • I run to sweat.
  • I run to feel the cold sting on my ears.
  • I run to the beat.
  • I run because it is a good friend.
  • I run to cry.
  • I run with a smile.
  • I run because gas will reach $4.
  • I run because it is free.
  • I run because of 9 to 5.
  • I run because it's my body telling me, "You ARE ALIVE!"
  • I run in 2012.

  1. Run well, my brother.

    I'll run if there is a bear chasing me. Otherwise, I'll stay back and hold the sofa down so it won't float away. It's a difficult job but one I am prepared for.
