I was a wee bit mad at running on Saturday. I was so mad in fact I questioned why I even run… Why I am even attempting to run a marathon and put in all the training runs. And then I remembered. I remembered I actually really do love running and therefore I will stick with it through thick or thin
I love running because it makes me feel accomplished.
I love running because it’s very humbling at times.
I love running because it makes me feel strong.
I love running because it reminds me I have so much room for improvement.
I love running because it gets me outside all year long.
I love running enough to run in 10degree weather.
I love running for medals.
I love running for fun.
I know some people just don’t “get” running but I am really glad that I do. It’s allowed me to do so much more then I would have thought possible. And hopefully I still have a few accomplishments in store for me.
Why do YOU love running?






Wow great post about running and very inspiring !
Thank you
I need to bookmark this to come back to when I am not feeling it!!
No more running mid-life crisis?
Well…not this week?
I needed this. I am starting to doubt my marathon training right now and feeling some major burnout.
I totally can relate to that feeling! I keep going back and forth but I think this is just part of the test of how bad I want this
Keep at it!
I love it for the same reasons you mentioned. It always makes my mood 1000x better
Totally agree!
