The open road
For me running is many things. Thinking about how running has changed my life, I wanted to put together a list, a personal reflection, if you will, on what running means to me. Yes, it is all very personal, so feel free to comment on what running means to you!

Freedom
Solitude
Beauty

Exhilarating
Healthy
Fun

Running Wild 
I think if you saw me run, you might rethink that “graceful” part 🙂
OK, lol. States of grace?
This is fantastic. I was actually thinking earlier this week about what running means to me, and how to show it.
I would add that running is: being in control, letting go, creative, and meditative
Absolutely! All of those things, I agree.
Excellently put. Although I’m with Crazy, Sweaty Mommy on the graceful aspect 😉
Lol! Did you fall gracefully on the trails? Falling can be graceful, too.
Um… No. 🙂 My most graceful looking fall is the one in which I tweaked my knee! Gracefulness is overrated.
Better to fall than to gracefully bow out. You picked yourself up and kept going. That is true grit and what running is all about. Yes!
