Running is many things to me but as I was in the middle of the last 10k races my mind filled with all kinds of adjectives that a year ago I would have never thought possible…. So, here are a few from my list:

Running is ____________.

Therapy
Alone time
Cathartic
Exhilarating
Mind numbing
The way I lost weight
Fun!
Hard
Challenging
Endorphin inducing (duh!)
That feeling of accomplishment that I get from no other source
Passion
Exhilarating, especially when I PR!
Painful
Exhausting
Freeing
Body Shaping
Character building
LIFE!
