Runners World Editorial Contest

The June 2006 issue of Runner's World invited readers to enter an editorial contest.
Info from Runners World "In 50 words or less tell us what motivates you to run."

Funny thing is, I was just thinking about this over the weekend. Until that moment, I never really considered myself a "runner". I run for a lot of reasons, but first and foremost, I run for me.

Here's my 47 word submission:

Am I running for something, to something, from something? Maybe it is all of those things, or maybe I just run for me. I escape when I run. I am alone with my thoughts when I run. I feel complete peace in my soul when I run.
