Why?

This morning I was coming home on the last leg of my 8 km run and a little girl was playing at the park.  She asked me, "Are you running?"  I said, "Yup."  In typical 3 year old fashion, she said, "Why?"  Hmmm, good question.  I spent the rest of my run trying to come up with a good answer.  Why am I running?  Not to lose weight.  I haven't lost a single pound.   Not to be more healthy.  I felt pretty healthy before.  Not to run a race.  I'm not registered for any races.  I really don't know why I am running. 
Someone once said, "Only crazy people and escaped convicts run."  I'm not an escaped convict so I must be a crazy person.
Oh well.
Look out, crazy person on the loose!

I am having a non-knitting summer.  :(

8k hey ? Wow. I don't even think I would make it to the park without stopping to walk. Every one I k ow know is running , like it is a new craz. You go girl! I will keep to my walking and doing stairs. I don't think your crazy, just motivated to do something for yourself. Good luck!
