Why Am I A Runner?

Veronika Tůmová

Why should I be a runner? What is the point of all of this? Why are you doing it, when it is so difficult? Just tell me...Why?

These questions come to my mind very often. Almost every day. Imagine that you are sitting on your sofa, drinking your favorite cup of tea, and feel so lazy. In these moments you really have to find your motivation to do something. One day I read "life is always gonna be difficult, it's full up to you why and when". These words helped me to look at everything from another point of view. Some people are always trying to live as easily and comfortably as they are able. They think they can run away (you see ... running is everywhere :)) from their problems because they will never have them in their seats at home. That is only half-true. Maybe just when you think you're really getting rid of all your problems. And then ... your body will show you the consequences of your laziness. Elsewhere I read "you start to grow old at the moment when you stop running". I think it's true. Despite talking about running, it doesn't have to be running! In my opinion, running is an amazing hobby with many advantages but I absolutely respect that someone doesn't have to be keen on it. Just find the right hobby for you and don't let laziness defeat you!
