Hey All!
Lately I've been really into running (even more than normal!). So much so I'm almost positive I'm going to run a half (13.1 miles) in the spring. Now that I've told the inter-web I want to run a half, I guess I have to now!;)
Anyways, I thought while I was in the midst this recent surge of running love I'd share all the reasons why running is SO AMAZING with you all.

I love to run because of the community. The world is filled with runners, everywhere you look. It's so much easier to find someone who runs, then, say, someone who dives. Also, ANYONE can run so the running world is filled with people of different shapes and sizes from different corners of the world, all with different backgrounds. The things is, all these people share one thing - a love to run. This creates a close knit community of people.
I love to run because it's calming. If I've had a bad day or have a lot stuff on my mind, running wipes those issues away and/or makes them seem easier to cope with. It's as though a running fairy comes and sprinkles you with fairy dust leaving you happier than ever before.
I love to run because of the confidence it gives you. I started middle school with a 9:45 mile and goal of reaching 8:30. Since I've been able to hit 6:45. Seeing that improvement, written down on paper, on this screen, fills me with a sense of accomplishment. It shows that when I set my mind to a hefty task like the above, I CAN achieve it and more. That builds my self confidence throughout not only running but other activities as well.
I love to run because of the accessibility. Anyone can do at anytime in any place. All you need is your body. There is no other sport that you can say that about.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Maybe it even inspired you to go on a run yourself.
Have a fabulous Wednesday guys.
xoxo,
