Running Is One Of My Life Companions

For a decade and a half, running has been my ever-present companion, my spiritual guide, and my faithful friend, offering me a clear perspective on reality and a candid voice without judgment.

Whenever I sought to test my limits and overcome challenges, running was there to strengthen my physical and mental fortitude, and enhance my self-esteem.

When life's stress and anxiety were overwhelming, running was there to provide me with solace, peace, and a sense of community, allowing me to release and find joy in the process.

Whenever I yearned for spiritual guidance, running helped me connect with something greater than myself, offering me a profound sense of purpose and clarity.

And in times of mourning, running was a source of comfort, allowing me to process my emotions, one step at a time.

For me, running serves as both my therapist and my therapy, offering me a safe space to express my feelings and find a sense of balance and inner peace.

Running is a way of life, an extension of myself that seeps into every aspect of my being, just as life itself flows into my running.

As I grow older, running has become less about training and more about the connection, the love affair, and the appreciation of moving forward through life on my own two feet.​

Just as running has looked after me, I too take care of it, nurturing our relationship and striving to grow together.
