For Valentine’s Day, the co-moderators of #Runchat are encouraging everyone to share ten reasons why you love running. Fun idea! So following their lead here are my ten, in no particular order:
I love……
- …working through whatever is going on in my head at the moment – there is no better therapy!
- …the burn in my quads after 1600 repeats on the track.
- …that each run is unique, no two days of running are ever alike.
- …the elation and pride of crossing the finish line of a half marathon.
- …guilt-free eating after a long run.
- …being greeted by my kids as I come through the door with “How far did you run today mom?”
- …connecting with people from all over through this common bond/addiction/obsession.
- …the way my jeans fit.
- …setting goals – big and small, both mental and physical – then blasting through them.
- …redefining my strong!
It still surprises me how in such a short time since I’ve started running, how much it has become a part of me. There was a time when I could never imagine running as much as I do… and now I cannot imagine not running!
What do you love about running? What would you miss if you couldn’t?
