    I RUN to think.
    I RUN to feel whole.
    I RUN to look back and see how far I've come.

    For the last one in both senses, after 11 years of running it helps to remind myself that when I first started a mile was challenging and my goal was to lose weight. All the consistency and hard work I put in over the years goes into those long runs. Now I can start in the heart of Chicago run to Northwestern University in Evanston and look at the skyline of where I started. It's a cool moment that always feels a little shocking, and makes me feel a little dangerous and bad *kitten*. But it all started with one night I decided to start and not give up.

    I run away from my anxiety and depression.

    I run because it is the only thing that makes me feel normal.

    I run very slowly

    I run like a girl

    I run because I like the post run, sweaty, I accomplished something I never thought I could, feeling.

    I run...

    ... so I can eat more!

    ... because it feels so good when I stop. :wink:

    ... further and faster than I ever thought I could.

    ... all over my neighborhood.

    ... through cemeteries to make sure the zombies haven't risen.

    ... wearing a lot of sunscreen.

    ... listening to punk, metal... and disco.

    ... with short, fast strides. When I watched a video of me running, I thought, "I look like I have to poop!"

    I RUN because I like it

    I used to run for fitness, because I can, for the goals, and still because things chase me. However, when you endure the sport and it changes you, running is more of a hobby and less a job. It becomes a part of your life, you are changed forever.
