I Run Because...

“I love to compete,

my family runs,

I never pass on a personal challenge,

it’s truly a unique and fun experience,

because my knee’s say no, but my heart says yes

passion and love

my co-workers dared me

I choose to

50 isn’t even close to old

a mom of three needs freedom too

hills and heat don’t scare me

freedom of the mind, can be found from fatigue in the physical

triumph translates to 26.2 miles

I am social

Elbow room has a different meaning here

I can, so I will

My 18 year old daughter needs a training partner

Women are strong and I am determined

Not all great races are found in big cities

Courage means finishing at all costs

my father can’t anymore

every mile I run, my boss donates to charity

I like to meet knew people

Sweat is the tears of my soul

Flat is for pansies

I can’t afford a nice bike

I love to experience new things

I am a new mom

Hope can be found in many places

I resolve to better myself

I can do it just for me

Success comes in many forms

It is my "Everest"

On my list of 100 things to do before I die

Last time was for survival, this time it’s against the clock

Beer tastes better after 26 miles

Excellence is never an accident. 

Pain is fleeting, the body temporary, conquest immortal

Every Friday is donut day

My bowling league just isn’t cutting it anymore

It’s a way of life

My ex never let me

I need Discipline.

To prove my will to succeed

Good excuse to buy new shoes

Success comes before work, only in the dictionary

A selfish sense of accomplishment

A marathon, is nothing compared to childbirth

I love to run

Well done, is better than well said

I am in the best shape of my life

I am powerful

I don’t want my thoughts to catch up with me

I wanted to be more

I can’t golf

I will always have this accomplishment

I am stronger than my illness

Happiness is an inside job

To teach my kids the meaning of dedication and diligence

I am a new person

I haven’t ever lost a bet

There is nothing I can’t do

To travel, is sometimes better than arriving

I quit smoking

I thrive on the sound of a cheering crowd

I have my 20 year reunion coming up

I need to escape the routine

When I laugh, “I shake like a bowl full of jelly”

4 hours or bust!

I have never kept a New Years resolution

I thrive on competition

I hold myself to a higher standard

I survived cancer

Boston or Bust

It is truly fun 

I Run because; I can, I will, I am … I run for all these reasons and more...
