Why Do You Run?

Why do you run?

This can be an interesting question to reflect on. Running has a fairly constant form and method; one foot in front of the other. Yet, I believe we all have our own unique reasons why we participate in this activity.

So this very simple question may not always have a simple answer.

After a bit of thought, I came up with a few reasons why I run.

  • to enjoy the outdoors and nature
  • the health benefit bang for the amount of time spent
  • to enjoy time with friends
  • to visit and experience new cities and locations
  • to share in experiences (races) with like minded people
  • to stretch and test my perceived physical and mental limits
  • the simplicity and convenience
  • low participation cost
  • it is a reminder of the wonderment and beauty of life and people
  • the endorphin buzz

Here is a cool video to help kick-off your weekend and start the thought juices so you can answer this questions for yourself.

Please add a comment and share the reason(s) why you run.

Have a great weekend, be active, and feel the buzz!
