I am not a runner.
But before my accident, I always run. (and hope after the recovery, I run)
Not every day but most of the day in a week.
I do love long run. Don't imagine marathon runner. My longest run was 20K, not even half marathon.
I just run and run.
Why?
When running I become myself.
I beat my own self.
I speak to myself.
I coach myself.
I push myself.
I cherish myself.
I motivate myself.
When I run, I create my own race. Not 5K, 10K nor the fastest. But commitment..
Commitment to run.
Trust me, my weakness is Commitment.
