I love to run, I run for the health benefits and for the mental benefits. A long slow run on a great day, can bring a sense of peace to me as I feel stress melt away it is similar to how yoga affects me.
If your life is without stress you probably need to live it a little more, stress affects us all.
Another thing I love about running is the people I have run with over the years, I have had great talks with people.
This year I met Katie. Katie is the Martha Stewart of Whitby, she is quite talented in that area. Every woman would want to marry Katie although I don't think I would want my husband to know about her he might want me to raise the bar a bit LOL.
Running with Katie is great, she is postive, gives honest but kind feedback and soon it doesn't seem like we are running at all, just a couple of friends sharing life. Katie is a good soul who always try to look for the positive in a situation, even when it is not sooo easy.
This is union, the goal of yoga is to be real and feel that connection with yourself, your community, your world and a power greater than yourself.
So running is for me a spiritual exercise as it seems to lift the clouds of doubt that seperate me, and has brought amazing friends like Katie into my life.

Ah man, those are the nicest things anyone has ever said about me (at least where I could over hear them). Thank you. I'd marry you in a heart beat too, but since that would be illegal (since I'm already married and will likely remain, as such)lets just be committed running partners *wink*
