The first page I read when I get my Runner’s World magazine is the section called I’m a Runner. It’s always nice to read how other people incorporate running into their busy lives.
I have a long list of reasons why I love to run, but here are a few. For those of you who just started running, I hope this keeps you moving forward.
*Running is similar to making art. It’s all about dedication. Making time for it, going for it with your heart, and enjoying the experience.
*I run in the morning because I love to start my day with a beautiful sunrise. Forrest Gump describes running in the desert: “when the sun comes up… I couldn’t tell where heavens stopped and the earth began“.
*Running is a source of inspiration. It’s the best studio space I’ve ever had!
*Running is like a minimalist performance: a good pair of running shoes and your inner strength is all you need.
*Running is balance. Having a healthy and active body is as important as having a healthy and active mind.
*I run because as with art, I can’t imagine my life without it.
