I Love Who I Am

Call me crazy...

Two miles? And I do this for FUN?

I work my tail off, every day

Preparing myself for the big run

I constantly have my doubts and fears

When I ask myself, 

"What am I doing here?"

I run til I'm dead

And go a little farther

Cuz it's all in your head

The truth is, it's not hard to explain

Why I put myself 

Through so much pain

It's because, during the run

And a few moments after

I feel like I won

It doesn't matter what place I got

And I don't care how fast i ran

What matters is that for about fifteen minutes

I love who I am

Author's Note

You see, I am a distance runner, and people like to think I am insane for it. But I love it. Because there is nothing like crossing the line, knowing you gave it your all. I love to be exhausted in that sense. When you run so hard you van't walk the next day... You can't help but be proud. That's where this one came from

I know what you mean--I used to do distance running myself, no less than three miles per day. I definitely know the exultation of crossing the finish line.
