One word came to mind.
Freedom.
When I run I get to decide how fast and how long I go.
I get to say where I venture on and what direction I will go.
I get to decide if I listen to music or myself breath with nature.
And I get to decide when I've had enough.
There is nothing else in life like this.
School tells you how and what to do.
Work tells you where and when to be there.
You tell yourself what you believe you can or cannot do.
Life is full of things that hold us back-disappointment, pain, fear...
But when I run, for a moment none of that matters.
For a small moment of my life,
I feel completely free.
For a small moment of my life,
I feel completely free.

That was beautiful lauren.
L-hoe. Don't you wish you were running with Nancy?
love this. I love running!
Maybe you can teach me how to love it when you come down. But that would probably require instantly losing a few pounds, and instantly being in shape. Can you handle that?
Love it. Run a half marathon with me please.
