I run to say "You can do it!"
I run to buy cute running skirts and other running gear from time to time.
I run so when I lay in bed exhausted at night I feel like I deserve a good night's sleep.
I run for the thrill of the finish line.
I run to be my own cheerleader.
I run to be like my sister.
I run for that achy feeling that tells me I pushed myself.
I run so I have something to talk about with my running friends.
I run to have a reason to get out of bed early in the morning.
I run because someone once asked me if I was a runner and although I wasn't at the time, I answered "yes."
I run to add to my collection of race t-shirts.
I run to see friends on the trail.
I run so my son knows that it's important to set goals and work hard for things--& in hopes that he'll learn to love it one day.
I run to prove to myself that I can overcome the pain.
I run to see my legs get stronger.
I run to say "You did it!"
I run to remind myself why I run.
I run to buy cute running skirts and other running gear from time to time.
I run so when I lay in bed exhausted at night I feel like I deserve a good night's sleep.
I run for the thrill of the finish line.

Those are some good reasons! I'm glad they motivate you. None motivate me... Some should. consider your self blessed!
Wow... you just put into words so many thoughts I have about running. I LOVE this Mariah! Very moving. And I love that we have the same hobby!
I love this! I miss you. Sorry to be so hard to connect with this summer. We'll be out of town next week then nothing planned besides swimming lessons for two weeks. A park day would be wonderful.
I LOVE this. You are amazing!
