Why do I run?

Because running is my church.

Because running helps me figure out what I think about the world.

Because I love buying running shoes.

Because I like being alone sometimes.

Because running helps me sleep well.

Because I run past interesting things.  Bears, beaver dams, hidden valleys.

Why do I write?

Because writing is my church.

Because writing helps me figure out what I think about the world.

Because I love buying new journals.

Because I like being alone sometimes.

Because writing helps me sleep well.

Because I get to write about interesting things.  Talking bears, floating islands, secret valleys where time stands still.

BONUS REASON I like to run:  I don’t need to worry about eating second helpings of dessert!
