I'll tackle this one, because you can use it for your character as you 
see fit.

I'm assuming your question is really "Why would a non-sociopath become
a runner", because the alternative answers are somewhat obvious.
Addressing that:

* Thrillseekers
* Problems with authority
* Loathing of "the system"
* A "cause"
* Driven from the light (falsely accused of a crime?)

Each of these can be a reason that an otherwise "normal" person would
find the life of a runner appealing.  (potentially even while hating
it).
