Why do I run? I run for myself. I participate in many activities and have a lot going on in my life. Running is something I am able to do independently and escape all of the frustrations I may be having. In life you have to rely on people a lot of times because life takes a great deal of teamwork (not to sound cliche) but running is something you can do alone or with others.
When I run, I like being able to get myself anywhere that a car or other means of transportation would not allow me to go...Running is a means of exploring and being adventurous....especially when running on a new trail. As a little girl, I was always running around getting lost because I was "looking for an adventure." I would disappear into the woods behind our house playing and exploring with my friends for hours at a time. Well, as a college student, I still look for adventure. I fulfill that urge to explore by running...running not only lets me explore the great outdoors but also explore my mind and relieve my frustrations on the road.
