Why I Run - Ken Brown

My initial purpose for running was to simply feel better and hopefully keep myself in reasonably good health during the last phase of my life. However, over time running has become a much more important aspect of who I am and how I want to live. It's a mood enhancer for me, a quiet time for thinking, and a counter weight to all of life's stress points. Even though it burns and the muscles ache during a hard run, just overcoming that little bit of pain and pushing hard to persevere feels so worthwhile when the run is finished! And it keeps me coming back!
 
I did not know Payton, but I've watched her family and close friends keep her light, her life and their fondest memories of her very much of part of their lives. So I know there are thousands more brave people of all ages still fighting the battle to overcome carcinoid cancer, so if I can do a small part by fundraising and running with the “Little Team That Could” I consider it a honor and such a worthy cause.
