I run because..

I run because it’s the simple leisure of life.

One does not always need a bombastic reason for everything.

I run because it strengthens not only the physical body; but the mind and spirit.

Since I am naturally a weak person.

I run because it builds character;

that I can be a better instrument to serve the society.

I run because it can inspire people, including myself.

Running teaches people the power of perseverance;

To never give up.

I run because running can contribute to charity,

and to raise funds for the under-privileged children who are being loved so little.

I run to prepare myself for the rigours of mission life in the future;

for I know to serve in the mission field with my loved one would cost us everything.

I run because I want to experience pain and suffering.

Pain reminds me that I am a human and I’m still alive.

I run because it is therapeutic to my heart;

to the wounds and emotional baggage that I carry.

I run because I want beat the Enemy that lives within me;

who always pours out lies and tempts me to do things which I don’t want to.

I run because I want to meet God.

And in meeting Him, I know who I am.
