3) To gain fitness for a planned race
4) To feel at one with the earth, in nature, a natural existence
5) To breathe, to listen to my breath, to be
6) To wake me up & to run my day off
7) For that heightened happy medative mind blissful bit
8) To get from A to B in a conscious way
9) For when I'm running I feel truly free & alive
