I love running! I've recently challenged myself and upped my mileage from 3 miles to 6 miles. During my run today I started thinking of a few of my favorite things about running. Here's my list!
6. Feeling like a Champion, Gladiator, Superhero, etc... You get the picture. The feeling you get after finishing a long run is AMAZING. I literally feel like I could go to war and fight for my life. It's a great feeling. The runner's high is REAL and it's legit.
5. Saying hello to fellow runners/walkers during a run. This really pushes me through a run. I LOVE passing people and sharing a little kindness. I have a secret dream of one day starting a conversation with a fellow runner and then finishing the run together. Silly... but I still think it would be awesome.
4. Wearing LSU or LA Tech gear during a run in the UT bubble. This REALLY gets people saying hello! I even got a a honk, a couple waves, & a few LSU comments during my run today!
3. Enjoying nature.I love being outside & running. (I'm not really a fan of running on a treadmill) My favorite place to run is a running track on the edge of a lake in TN... I love it. It's a beautiful place to run.
2. Clearing my mind. Running relieves stress and helps me sort out all of the crazy thoughts going through my head. I also love to talk to God during my runs. Sometimes it's hard to remind myself to pray during a run, but when I do it makes the run 100% better.
1. During a run something always causes me to smile and really look back on how far I've come. It's a great feeling and I love to savor that moment. Nothing beats a during the run smile... it pushes me so far!
So my reasons are kind of silly and not at all technical... but they all really do make a difference in a run for me!
What are your favorite things about running?
