Many distance runners can agree that we get asked the same questions over and over again: Are you crazy? How many miles do you run a day? Don’t you get bored running all of those miles? The most common question we get asked, however, seems like the most simple question you could ask- Why do you run? Little do non-runners know that the question itself is still one that I struggle to answer every single time I get asked it. Usually, the response is quite long too. Sometimes I even wonder if the person who asked the question listens to the full response.
For this blog, I decided to ask a group of my running friends the common question “why do YOU run”. I have to admit that I enjoyed reading everyone’s responses to the question because they are all unique. For privacy, I will use their twitter names. Along with the responses, I will put a little bio of the runner’s accomplishments to make things more fun. I hope you enjoy!
