I've been battling some injuries and sickness the last few weeks. Thus, I haven't ran since June 24th. And I feel awful about it! It makes me feel like I'm quitting and that I'm lazy.
But, I know I'm not.
Because I'll always be a runner.
How do I know this? I know this because before I started running, I thought running was something people only did to stay skinny. I thought it was something other people did. I said I only ran if someone was chasing me.
And now? Now, I call myself a runner. It's part of who I am. I love how I feel 10 minutes into a run - the high. I love how my brain relaxes and how I get my best ideas while stomping out a couple miles. I may not be the fastest runner in the world, but I don't even care. I love racing myself, improving myself, and relaxing myself all at the same time.
I can't wait for this cold to completely leave my body. I want to run. I need to run. Because I'll always be a runner.
