My Valentine: Smile More! Posted on February 13, 2014

Why running is my valentine!

It’s no secret my heart is in love. In fact, I have been in love since I was 12 years old. I’m in love with running…that is! In honor of Valentine’s Day, I have decided to put together a list of reasons why running can be the love your life too!

-Running is not an expensive sport! All you need is a good pair of sneakers, proper apparel, and a sidewalk/trail to run on!

-Running keeps you accountable for a consistent sleep schedule.

-6 am on Sunday mornings are where the real party is at!

-It takes you to places you may never have dreamed of.

-You can plan different vacations around cool trails and pretty parks.

-Your friends will think you are crazy!

-You can eat more food and more often!

-Running is low maintenance. What you put into the sport is what you will get out of it.

-You can meet lifelong friends through different group runs and races!

-You may even meet another love of your life ;)

-Runners high can put anyone in a great mood.

-Running helps keep your body fit for a lifetime.

-Even when you feel out of shape, you still are fit!

-Running structures realistic goals for the other parts of your life.

-Happy hour and post run food splurges are a common theme!

-The sport can guide you to your future endeavors.

-And finally the majority of runners are EASY GOING PEOPLE!

As my mom always said, “Nothing good happens after 10 o’clock. Just go to bed!” Go to sleep early, fit running in your schedule, and smile more! Thanks for reading!
