run baby run

So, today was another running day with Ingrid. I woke up at 6:45 am and took my water and granola bar and jogged to Ingrid's. We stretched for a bit and then started running. We ran to Bernardo Middle School and back, which sums up to 6 and something miles. We stopped once or twice, but we still kept going. The way from Bernardo to back is easier since we were going down.I got this picture from FLICKR. I don't know why I like it but it involves running. When I run, it feels like no one can catch me or touch me. I feel so free! If I just keep pushing, I can go anywhere. And after I am done, I feel like I can concur the world.
I googled some reasons why people love running and these are my favorite:
"I love running because I get to explore. I am free to go wherever I want - to see closely new cities, neighbourhoods, developments whatever. Running allows you to have long and in depth conversations - ones that can only happen on the road …. with people you might normally not speak with. My running allows me to explore the limits of my own body - to see what it is truly capable of."- Erin
“Running — I love to be out in the quiet crisp of of the morning to see the sun come and welcome the new day. Gives me freedom, strength, a good heart and a clear mind for whatever will come my way.”— Mark
Because that's my exactly why I love it too.

Your unstoppable friend,
