{Why Running is Awesome}

I'm joining some of the running blogs that I follow to day and talking about why we love running

** It's ME time - it may sound selfish, but it's my time to think and process. It's a stress reliever. 
** I spend time with God - I use this time to pray and listen to sermons.  ** I can do it where-ever  I go... For example (picture above) We went to the beach last week. I packed my shoes and went runner here.  ** You get to see beautiful places...I have traveled quite a bit and I love running in those places, it helps me explore the city or the country side.  ** I can eat what I want: Not that I eat poorly, but I don't feel as bad about eating carbs, etc....knowing I need the carbs for running :)  ** There is camaraderie - runners gather together at races, events, etc...they cheer each other on and encourage one another.  ** It helps me stay in shape. I feel so much better with my body when I am actively running.  Why do you run??
