TOTR: The Best Thing(s) About Running …

with Erika @ MCM Mama Runs,
Marcia @ Marcia’s Healthy Slice
and Patty @ My no-guilt life! 

This week’s topic is The Best Thing About Running is…

I certainly could not just limit it to ONE thing!!

So in no particular order, here are the BEST things about running for me:

• New friends I have made

• Guilt-free carb-loading (before & after a run or race)

• Best way to end a bad day (or start off a tough day)

• Excuse to shop – buy new running clothes, shoes, gear, etc.

• Setting your own goals (run your “own” race)

• How you feel when crossing the finish line in a race

• Feeling healthy, active & alive

• Sense of pride & accomplishment (I’m 62 and running half marathons!!)

• Being alone and getting lost in one’s own thoughts

• The bling 🙂

Happy Running! What do you like BEST about running?
