Running

Running gives me a sense of controlling my own life.
I feel I'm doing something for myself, not depending on
anyone else to do it for me. I like the finiteness of my runs,
the fact that they have a clear beginning and end: I set a
goal and I achieve it. I like the fact, too, that there's a real
difficulty in running; when you have to push yourself to finish
a run, you feel wonderful afterward.
A good run makes you feel sort of holy.-Nancy Gerstein
