Running is liberty. All through the bad times, all through the sad times, every step I ran was a catharsis. It was a way to feel that there was miles between me and the hurt. It gave me the strength I needed to return, to surrender my soul back into the cage... until the next time... until the next sense of running over muddy tracks and fields.
When I'd run, when my soles felt the earth and gained their own rhythm, my thoughts became lyrics - my own original track had the chance to play for its audience of one.
Once you get in the zone, to run is a form of whole-body meditation. Your thoughts can go places they couldn't before. It is one of the many keys available to unlock the imagination.
There were a lot of obese people in my family, and quite few skinny fit ones too. Choosing to run and keep running was the best choice I could make for my present and future. I'm glad I did.
The day I chose to run it was something of an accident, yet I ended up on the school cross-country team all the same. I was bored of walking up a large hill with my friends and wanted to get back to the changing rooms all the faster for a nice hot shower. I was second that day. Then I started to actually try because I realised I was good at something people respected. After that I was first every time.
