Run Forest!

I run.  I enjoy the steady rhythm of my feet as they hit the ground.  I enjoy my breath as I fall into a cadence that allows me to continue on for several miles at a time.  I enjoy the way it makes me feel both during the effort and the rest of the day as well.  As I run I enjoy listening to my music, chatting with someone or reaching down into the depths of my inner being and coming up with great thoughts and ideas.

I don't run FROM things.  I don't run because I HAVE to.  I run because I LIKE to.

I run because it brings me joy... and ultimately isn't that the goal?
