I Run Because They Cannot
Using running to remember, inspire, and heal
We all have goals and reasons for running. Running is a beautiful sport; it teaches perseverance and continues to find different ways to connect us. We all share in the struggle that it takes, and we have to make efforts to do our best.
Running for Health
Our times and distances may vary, but the shared struggle unites us. Remember, the definition of a runner is not about speed or distance but the personal journey each of us embarks on. This realization can inspire us all.
Each of us has our unique reasons for running. Some of us start for the health benefits, others to be a part of a community, and some for the sheer joy of achieving that elusive runner’s high. Whatever your reason, it’s valid, and it’s yours.
Running for a Sense of Purpose
Running is part of my life because it helps me find meaning. I learn about myself and my ability to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. I develop strength and fortitude, but also show myself what I can achieve.
The sport gives me the strength to break through new barriers, and I can define success in many ways, which is essential.
