writing about running

I struggled a lot to write my piece about running.  Injuries happen to all sorts of athletes and many of them are more serious than mine so I didn't want to come off as melodramatic or like I was the only runner ever to have something go wrong.  Running is such a physical thing that sometimes it is hard for me to describe the way it really makes me feel, it's euphoric and painful at the same time.  Also, I knew how I wanted to start this piece but not really sure where it was going, what path it was taking.  Since I am still somewhat struggling with this, it was hard for me to come to a solid conclusion.
