I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.
Running is very spiritual for me. It is therapeutic; it clears my mind and helps me to focus.
My father taught me you have to believe in yourself and run on your own track.
Being a runner means you are now 'free' to win and lose and live life to its fullest.
I can't run forever. I decided to go back to school for my degree, because I know now there's more to life than track.
I'm not a runner. I don't run.
Running is a great metaphor for life. You set a goal, and then you get to work. How well you do is a direct reflection of how hard you work. It's a mental game, too. There are setbacks along the way, but the true test of a runner is how you overcome and push past them.
Running is my church.
Running is a simple, primitive act, and therein lays its power. For it is one of the few commonalities left between us as a human race.
There are so many things in life that divide us, that separate us and tear us apart, be it race, religion, creed, socioeconomic level, nationality or any variety of other factors. But running is something that we all share in common.
