What Running Means to Me
by
Jean J. Lee
Running is my time to be grateful for another
day I wake up to
Running is my time to look back on my own
self
Running is my time to reminisce the good
old days in the past
Running is my time to fall apart in times
of sorrow
Running is my time to grieve thinking of my
loved ones in Heaven
Running is my time to pull myself together
in the midst of hardships
Running is my time to list up groceries to put
in my basket
Running is my time to say I love you to my
tired body and soul
Running is my time to shake off all the bad
energy from the world
Running is my time to be all ears to my
inner voice
Running is my time miss my family and
friends living in a distance
Running is my time to pray for those in difficult
time of their lives
Running is my time to visualize my future
self in another pair of running shoes on different turfs
Running is my time to promise myself a
better tomorrow
Running is my time to empty out my mind and
become refreshed
Running is my time to pat on my own back
and keep chanting the mantra: ”You are fine.”
Running is my time to whisper “One step at
a time”
Running is my time to be reminded of the beauty
of sweaty miles
Running is my time to reset some broken
system inside of me
Running is my time to learn how to let go
of things I can’t change
Running is facing your most unbridled self
and welcome you just the way you are
