Wrunning. Just for the fun of it.

Writing is funny. Well, not all writing is funny, but the idea of writing for fun humors me. I relate it to running. I never understood the joy of running as I was growing up, just as in writing, yet I knew all along there was a purpose for the two. In my maturation, I have come to the conclusion that in the right context, both running and writing can be fun, literally... Get it.

I would like to create a word. My favorite shoes of all time are the Jordan Trunners. I mention this because Trunner = Trainer + Runner . Genius. In the same fashion (get it) I introduce my word: Wrunning. For those of you who are bad at math I will show my work: [Wrunning = Writing + Running].

You see, growing up I had to write in school when I didn't want to and I had to run in football practice when I didn't want to, hence my above perplexion of "wrunning for fun". The thing I never fully understood was that in doing these things, it better prepared me mentally and physically. Realizing this and wrunning recreationally can in turn be fun, I get it. The difficult part is I have neither a coach nor a teacher to whistle or detain me if I slack in my wrunning. I have always thought it would be awesome to be a coach and/or a teacher... to help others achieve their ultimate goal. Why not start with myself?

C'mon, It'll be fun.
