Running is my favorite exercise. Here are some of the reasons why I enjoy the sport... 1. A good run can take anywhere from minutes to hours. You can make it fit your schedule. My favorite running duration during weekdays is 40-45 minutes. On weekends, I like to run 60-90 minutes. When my kids were little and my husband was working, I would hire a babysitter so that I could run. It was worth every penny! I would come home from a run and feel like a better version of myself. 2. It challenges me EVERY time. I ALWAYS feel like I get a good workout. When you build up endurance, you just run faster. When you want to challenge yourself, you can sign up for a race. 3. Running is never boring! No two runs are exactly the same. You can easily vary the length, duration, and pace of a run. I enjoy running in every season and in almost every weather. (I could do without strong wind, heavy rain, or temperatures greater than 70 or less than 0 degrees.) 4. You can run anywhere. As long as you have running shoes, you can run at home, on vacation, while visiting family, on a treadmill, etc. Running in new environments is fun. You can really take in the scenery on foot. I have enjoyed running in many communities. 5. Running is an individual or group sport. You can run with a friend, spouse, sibling or alone. (Running with someone is definetly my preference!) Most of all... Running brings happiness, peacefulness, and calmness to my days.
