I don’t mind the fluffiness at all. This may explain my reason for running better than anything that I have come up with. I have often asked myself the same question, “Why do I run?” I have come up with several reasons but never looked at it from this angle. A year and a half ago I thought that a half marathon seemed absolutely crazy. I did that, then set my sights on a full marathon. I did that, and now I’m wondering if I could possibly do a 50 miler. From the way you explained it, we set goals that we don’t really believe that we can accomplish. Our guts tell us that we can’t, but we do it anyway. I am really starting to believe that I can not only run a 50 miler, but probably a 100 miler as well. That is, if I put in the effort and train my butt off. It’s funny, after my full marathon, I thought, “That’s it?” as if I needed more. Hopefully there will come a point where I am simply content with where my running has taken me. In a way, I hope that I never reach that point. I hope that I will continue to seek out challenges and meet them.

I prefer cycling than running because when you run, you put so much strain on your knees and it might give you negative side effects in long term. Well, I cycle every day at seven o’clock in the morning and it feels great as it is a way to release stress, think, and compete.
