Why do runners run?

Being a xc runner I had to post this. enjoy =]

Why Do Runners Run?
By: Dan Crowe

I have seen their tortured faces.
I have heard their pounding hearts.
I have seen their head bowed in the sorrow of defeat.
I have seen their hands hoisted in salute to the goddess of victory.
I have wondered why do runners run?
I have seen long lines running in the park.
I have seen them run to the accolades of a thundering crowd.
I have seen them run in the solitude of a rain-swept street.
I have wondered why do runners run?
Is it a burning inside or a thing called pride?
The search for an inner peace or the quest of a golden fleece?
I believe the gods decree that some people must run to prove the pain ins fun.

I think that us runners don't know ourselves why we run (most of the time - for those runners who do...good for you :l haha)Then again maybe it is just to prove the pain is fun....

I fell in love with a storybook
with pages of brightly-lit sky
and paper of dying stars
and words of leftover wishes
and binding of heartstrings

E.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. is Dying
