Why do you run?

Running saves your life, it keeps you sane and makes you feel free. Only runners understand that amazing feeling after you just finished a long run. It makes you enjoy the little things in life and takes you away from life for a little while.

You're addicted to those Nike running capris and you have to have the newest running shoes.You take your Fitbit or Nike fuel band very seriously and make sure you don't fall short of your goal.

Your addicted to running. You can't go a day without thinking about it and frankly, your day just doesn't feel complete without going for one.

People think you are crazy because you love to run and are quick to ask you multiple follow up questions when you say you love running. For example, you like feeling sore?, How long do you run?, Why do you like that?, How are you able to run that long?, and many more. Running is just a part of you and it's something that always will be.

Running a marathon or half marathons are the days you live for. The excitement of the race and putting all your hard work to the test. Getting up early and picking out your favorite running outfit makes you so excited. Your finish time is important to you but as long as you cross the finish line you feel accomplished.

Running is your medicine. Rather than it making you tired of feeling run down, it wakes you up and fills your body with pure joy and energy. Whenever your having a bad day you have your run to look forward to, it makes your day fnot as bad.

The most rewarding feeling is the feeling of being sore and that may sound crazy but for a runner it's what they live for. Run your life, instead of it running you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
