Every Run Is A Perfect Run

by Vicki "vy" Sallas
(Tomball,Texas)

AS I look back at why I started to run in the first place there were many reasons, an escape, lose weight to be a better person. I have had perfect runs where everything just seems to flow, breathing, a rhythm in my steps that was like music. By mile 8 my creative juices are really flowing... I am a writer, a poet, a philospher. Mile 10 and beyond I am my own therapist finding a peaceful resolution to a problem. Mile 13 I am an amazing kenyan athlete, and I can acomplish anything, when in reality I am a 40 year old housewife who runs 9 miniute miles over long distances. I have have been so tired I could'nt take another step, it's good listen to your body, it tells you exactly what you need. Please remember to take rest you will come back even stronger,faster and better. So many runners don't take time for rest. 12 to 16 weeks training with up to a week off. You will be able to have more perfect runs. There is no such thing as luck, so be awesome.

Hi Vicki,

Reading the meaningful lines of your writings I can tell you that I cannot recall the reasons I started running as it has been with me from the day I started realising that my two legs could take me a long way on the soil, roads, sand, hills and the world. It has been part of me and never left me. The most devoted partner and 'secret lover'.

However, to go back to your writings it makes me feel even more grateful and fortunate that we can all share these special feelings that running creates in us All from the inside.

I love writing and I Love Running. One enhances the other and the most amazing things that came to my mind did so during my runs. So, to be creative and have all these special moments as yours it is a gift to treasure. Sharing them does make it even more special. Running brings souls together because it is not just a physical activity but also mental, spiritual and very much emotional.
So, Yes 100 % can relate to your experiences and know that many more of us experience the same from all corners of this World.

Keep It Up
by: Becca Jones

Your story was very inspiring, and I hope it encourages others to start running. Six years ago my husband and I became addicted to running. We are both in our 60's and training for marathons.
Vy, keep up the good work!!
