Why do we run?

Why Do We Run?
We run to fight, to fight ourselves, to fight the desire to give up and give in.
We run to conquer, to conquer ourselves, our abilities, and our emotions.
We run to become, to become something more than we are, to become great.
We run to fly, to fly over pavement grass and dirt, to fly above the pain and fear of loss.
We run to win, to win over ourselves, our fear of loss and failure, to win for our team.
We run for something more, more than just running, for something seemingly untouchable.

We run to be, victorious.



Thanks to Brad for writing something so inspirational he inspired me to write something that explains Why We Run.
