Why?
Why do you lace up your sneakers to go on runs when you don’t want to?
Why do you show up to the gym after a long day of school or work?
Or go early in the AM to make sure you don’t miss it?
Why do you train?
I train because when I was not confident in myself, training gave me confidence.
I train because I only get one body in this lifetime; I better take damn good care of it.
I train because my mind and my body keep showing me I am capable of way more than I thought.
I train because my mental state afterward is always better than before.
I train because I want to keep getting better.
I train because when the zombie apocalypse comes, the slow and the weak humans are going to be eaten.
I train because I want to make sure I am ready if the day comes when my niece asks to go on a run with me.
