Why do I run: 
I don't really know. Not much into the introspection thing. It started as a way to lose weight, now its just what I do.
Why I started running: 
I never planned on running. In 2007 my wife was walking her second half marathon and couldn't finish. I told her to pick one for the fall and I'd walk it with her. We finished that one and planned to do Country Music Half Marathon in the spring. She severely injured her shoulder and couldn't train, but I decided I'd soldier on alone. Walking 8-10 miles by yourself takes a long time so I started to sprinkle in some running intervals. My own little Gallowalking program (before I knew who Galloway was). The rest is history. From running 1 minute out of 5 to over 30 mpw. A bunch of 5K's, 6 half marathons and 3.75 full marathons.
