For those new followers, welcome to my blog.  I hope that you enjoy reading it and learn sometime from it.

So the question of the day is the topic for today's blog post.

Why do you run?  Here are just a few of the reasons I run:

- To lose weight
Ahhhh!!!!!!
- To maintain weight
- To eat what I want(love Snickers and should eat more of them)
- To relieve daily stress
- To get healthy
- To maintain my healthiness
- To have alone time(at least at 5am when I run during the week)
even when it's dark
- To think about life
- To think about nothing
- To get faster
- To run longer
- To keep me sane
- To keep my family insane(from talking about it all the time Haha)
- To see the clear sky at 5am in the morning(like yesterday's run)
- To feel the trail on my feet
A great trail in the U.P.
- To run by the beautiful groomed golf course and calm lake up in Northern Michigan
Otsego Lake

Michaywe Golf Course
- To see the wild animals that I encounter such as the family of deer with their two babies.
Deer
- To get the feeling of accomplishment when I complete another race
Bayshore marathon
- To run through the cold and snow when nobody will do it.
Another winter run
- To run in the warm summer rain.
- To experience fall colors the only way a runner can see them.
Fall in Gaylord MI
- To run with family and friends
Detroit Marathon Relay
- To run for adventure
The dash
- To run for the bling
The bling display

- But mostly I run because it's what I enjoy.

    I started running because I quit smoking and didn't know what to do with myself! Then I did it to lose weight. Now to maintain, but mostly because I love it!!
