You know what the best thing about running is? It's quiet. Sure, I can filter out any noise I want when I want, but when I'm running I don't have to. Everything is already silent, temporarily frozen in time and it's pretty much awesome. I'm even a sucker for the whole “wind in your face” cliché.
There isn't much I love more than running that doesn't have to do with my friends or family. It may sound strange, but I don't have to think when I run, aside from making sure I don't miss any important landmarks. Or run into any of them. Otherwise, it's time I can use to clear my head and stop thinking about everything, for a little while anyway. I can just be myself, I can just be without worrying about what bad thing is going to happen next.
It's freedom. And we all need that now and then.

Unrelated, but I has a question!
