Forrest began his run after the death of his mother, but her death was not the impetus that drove him. Jenny had come to stay with him and she had left unexpectedly. His heartbreak and emptiness were expressed in the film by having no sound in the scenes leading up to the point when he starts running. Later he says, "My mama always said that you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on, and I think that's what my running was all about."
