Today's a gift that's why its called the present.

While running today, it finnaly hit me that running wasn't just a way to excersize the mind and body, but was a way of life as well.

As you run, you realize what you past and you enjoy seeing it fade behind you, because then you know you're moving forward. You also see what's in front of you and chase them, just like we are told to chase another SHS member during practices. But what you chase isn't another person (might be? crush?), but you're dreams and goals. But yet the most important part of running is the actual running itself. You realize that yes you are moving forward and yes you are chasing your goals, but yet you're enjoying right now, the sweat, the pain in your legs, the heaviness of your breathing. You've discovered that it takes now to reach the future and now to create the past. And just like running, your life has times of uphills and downhills and curves, and straighaway's.But despite all of this you're still running, you are making the attempt to move forward, but not just move to your goals, not just create the past....

You create Yourself, who you want to be and where you want to go. Let's face it the ending flag is only a symbol of telling you "you've done it" but you had to run there first.
