Why We Run...

Some days I run because the weather is simply too nice to pass up... Some days I run because I have the itch; the legs want to run and I want to feel the air against my skin... Some days, I have run for Leukemia survivors, figthers and victims. Some days, the schedule tells you to run. Today, I ran because I hadn't in so long - it was barely 3 1/2 miles, but well worth it.

Tomorrow, or one day this week, I will run because Ryan Shay can't. He died 5 1/2 miles into the U.S. Olympic Marathon trials today. His friend and sometime training partner, Ryan Hall, won and will represent the USA along with Datahn Ritzenhein and Brian Sell. All three knew Shay and will run in Beijing with Shay in their hearts.
