This post may be becoming an annual thing. Last year I posted “10 Things I Love About Running.” This year I am reprising it but in a new manner. Thanks to therunchat.com for the call for these types of posts and to all those sponsoring the contest.

There is only one reason I truly love running. All the other reasons are extras so here you go.

C is for camaraderie.

O is for outside.

M is me time.

M is for marathons.

U is unity – as in we all unite and help each other.

N is for noticeable health changes.

I is for individual as we all run only against ourselves.

T is for travel as I travel to races all the time.

Y is for yearning for sunshine and good running weather.

COMMUNITY is what running is all about and why I love it.
