People always ask me why do you Run 5K's if you never win?  I run because I can- because I am able- because it makes me feel good about doing it.  I may not come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd but I finished and that is what really counts!  Because the people who ask me why I do them don't and that is another reason why I do them.  One day I will come in 1st, 2nd or 3rd it may not be today or tomorrow but I will get there some day soon!  Keep Fighting, Never Give Up, Believe in yourself!
