and here we go again

i don't know why i run.
stop. go back.
the moment i saw it written i realised it's not true.
i DO know.
i run to free my mind by focusing on a single thing - to go further. i run because it gives me a sense of control - mind over body. i run to kill negative thoughts and a never diminishing longing to travel. i run to give the whole thing some meaning - making the time spent in Jersey worth remembering. i run because it makes me stronger.
and after my first HALF MARATHON on Sunday i know i can do better.
time flies when i run. week after week i just look at the mileage and it feels as if i was running back towards New Zealand. it's an awfully long way but i know that every time i put my training shoes on i get closer...
