My Top-10 Reasons 4 Running

Because I've never ever been able to run 300 metres altogether, and I want to prove myself;

Because running is one of the hardest activities I could engage in;

Because running is in my Top-5 list of things that the people who have known me for ages would never expect me to do;

Because I used to hate running;

Because PE teachers and classmates at High School labelled me as unfit as I'd never be able to pass the 12-minute running test;

Because when I run, I put myself on the road 100%, I push myself beyond the limit, I give it my all;

Because running challenges my body, takes away all my strength and leaves me exhausted but ready to try to go for it again once I've recovered from it;

Because when I run, I leave the past, with all its defeats and failures, behind me;

Because running defines who I am and what I'm doing with my life;

BECAUSE WHEN I RUN, I FEEL ALIVE.

Why wouldn't I be able to run, anyway? I won't buy my own limitations for running. And I will never ever let anybody make me believe that I can't do it, that I wasn't born for this or that it will take me more than one life to be good at running.
  

I RUN AS MUCH AS I CAN, BECAUSE I CAN.


I RUN BECAUSE I WANT TO AND I HAVE TO. 


... AND I JUST HAVE TO TRY (AGAIN AND AGAIN)... AND KEEP TRYING. 


I KNOW I'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A RUNNER.
