Why?

I have wondered why I like running so much. Also why running is like my life. Basically running has run my life for many years. I have purposely chose places to live because the running is good in the area. Serious one apartment maybe better than the other but there is absolutely no running out the front door. To me that is a NO GO!! Running has been with me my whole life in many different ways. When I was younger I used running to have bullies stop picking on me because I was skinny. I would race them and beat them IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY!!! and that was the end of the story. That was pretty fun stuff. Sometimes I would even be brash as to give them a head start and still win. So running has even protected me in my life INTERESTING. Running has never really let me down in any way in my life. Like so many things in life that can let you down. Your job can let you down, relationship can let you down and so on. My running ramblings actually lead me to my current marriage. I met my wife because of running WHOA! this is getting out of hand. This is true though I met her at Kona Marathon 2004. We met at prerace party and she is Japanese and does not speak very good English but we still understood each other and really hit it off. After me going to Japan a few times we eventually got married a year later. So it is very interesting how running is so part of my life in many ways. At least to myself it is interesting.
