When we run... when we run by ourselves and for ourselves... we are taken
back to a place and time when we took the freedom to move for granted. We
are transported out of the world of our adult responsibilities and set down
- if only briefly - in the world where the movement of play was the basis
of our lives. We are able to remember with our bodies what our minds may
have long forgotten: that moving is better than standing still, and that
being active is what we were designed to do.
