I Want To Run

I Want To Run

When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I am jealous of their freedom, their endorphins,
their sweat.

 I want to run.

I Want To Run
When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I want to move my legs, use the full capacity of my lungs,
push past my mental barriers.

 I want to run.

When I’m not running, I notice other runners.
I miss my running shoes, my running friends, 
my runner’s high.

I want to run.

    Gosh I feel you it is so hard to see everyone running when you cannot. How’s it feeling? Healing? I did something to my foot yesterday and it still hurts today. Funny how that just happens isn’t it?

    I do feel your pain. I have been there, out and going crazy…
    Stick with healing though, it’ll make your runs better later.

    I can feel your pain my friend. I pray to my almighty that he heals your pain & you come up with your running shoes, move your legs with full potency, feel your freedom, sweat & enjoy the moment. I wish that day will come soon. Have your patience everything will be alright.
