Why do I run?

Running is a metaphor for life.

In life I will fall, or I will be pushed over.

I don’t fear this. I get back up.

I may not get what I work hard for.

But I know I’ve done my best.

Perfection is an illusion.

Sometimes good enough is all I have.

I can’t control challenges.

I control my reaction to challenges.

I fall but I get up and do my best.

So why do you run?

  I get that being able to appreciate what you can do whilst you are able and can do so.
