So the question of the day is the topic for today's blog post.

Why do you run?  Here are just a few of the reasons I run:

- To lose weight

Ahhhh!!!!!!

- To maintain weight

- To eat what I want(love Snickers and should eat more of them)

- To relieve daily stress
- To get healthy
- To maintain my healthiness
- To have alone time(at least at 5am when I run during the week)

even when it's dark

- To think about life
- To think about nothing
- To get faster

- To run longer

- To keep me sane

- To keep my family insane(from talking about it all the time Haha)
- To see the clear sky at 5am in the morning(like yesterday's run)
- To feel the trail on my feet

A great trail in the U.P.

- To run by the beautiful groomed golf course and calm lake up in Northern Michigan

Otsego Lake

Michaywe Golf Course

- To see the wild animals that I encounter such as the family of deer with their two babies.

- To get the feeling of accomplishment when I complete another race

- To run through the cold and snow when nobody will do it.

Another winter run

- To run in the warm summer rain.
- To experience fall colors the only way a runner can see them.
