I Love to Run

Some Thoughts On Running

By: distancerunner

Written on January 31st, 2013

Running is my freedom
running is my sanity... i think about running and how my body responds to the activity

i am most at peace... alone counting footfalls or mailboxes or street lights...
I am a night runner. .i have never been able to run during the day...I am not out on display i suppose...
there is a calming isolation in the night air...I am able to cocoon away away in a solo activity more so....

conferring with the moon and stars

What about the after run glow...ahhhhh. I hit the gym or take a walk more than I run. But I do it every day. So nice to be alone in my thoughts.

I hear you. Running is good. Sanity is good.
Too scared to run at night though, although I do like conferring with the moon and stars.

I used to run at night and loved it. Would love to again but too dark where I live and my husband would never let me! Now it's only day running but I can totally get your view on how you feel. :)

It's good that you have something to keep you sane :)

  I get misty eyed thinking about it...I am a sick person... i would run in almost any condition, just for the rush..

I love the "conferring with the moon and stars", part.
I am a moon dancer as opposed to "runner" and can appreciate the need for conferencing.

  It's a renewal for me and cheaper than insurance co pays :-)
