One Reason I Run

I know someday all too soon when I am older and suffer loss of mobility, I'll look back on today and think to myself,

"What I wouldn't to give to be back on the bike path, running with the warm sun on my face, babbling creek at my side, sweating and struggling, but running, running free and strong, pain and all."

So while running isn't fun - it's hard work, it's an act of freedom, an exercise of will, and an investment in today that I hope will keep that future self as far away from tomorrow as possible.
