I'm reminded why I run... (4.56mi)

Wow, that felt good. After spending the past 5 days resting, allowing my body to try and really make sure I've fully beaten this nasty sinus infection, I finally got out there tonight, even if it was only a short 4.5miles, for a run. And my god did it feel amazing. Now I expected that it would feel good as after having been held up for the past 5 days, I was somewhat antsy, and I've been itching to get out there and do something, but I guess it just really hit home to me as I started going, just how much an integrated part of me running has become. I never would have thought this would've happened to me, but I really do NEED to run. I can't imaging life without it. I'm fortunate enough to be blessed with a working mind, two able legs, and a situation that allows me to get out there and just do it. It's funny how we all too often don't realize how good something is, until we don't have it anymore. I run, because I can, and I hope I am able to enjoy it for the rest of my life.
