why i love running

Jul 14, 2009 19:07

 i love running because when i run, i'm not the caitlin who is shy and struggles to open up to new people.  i'm not the caitlin who doesn't make friends easily.  i'm not the caitlin who is introverted, who is quiet, who like to keep a very small inner circle and not have many peripheral friends.  when i run, i'm not the caitlin who is sometimes misconstued as anti-social or stuck-up because i'm quiet.

when i run, i'm strong.  i have endurance and i can go for miles.  when i run, i'm focused, i'm happy, and it's okay to be listening to my headphones and not talking to other people.  when i run, i'm the caitlin who has the self discipline to get out on the road even after a long, trying day at work and work hard and sweat.

i love to run because it makes me who i really am.  it strips away all of the armour i put on during the day to shield myself.
