The Daily Run - a great quote

My friend Chuck posted this quote on his blog, I love it.  It is so true, and has such great meaning, and hits the nail right on the head on answering the question of : "Why do you run so much?" 

"At first an ordeal and then an accomplishment, the daily run becomes a staple, like bread, or wine, a fine marriage, or air. It is also a free pass to friendship."
