Running-Good for the Mind, Body and Soul
From my previous posts you'll notice I've been into being healthier this past year. I was diagnosed with being pre-diabetic and when I found out I totally took my health into my own hands and decided to do a life change. I started eating right and working out. My progress has been amazing and 6 months ago when I would run I was ok but never felt this good.
My husband is a runner. He has done races and has been actively pushing me to join him for the past two years. Since I started focusing more on my health I decided I would pick up running to add to my routine. Now I am not normally a runner. I am more of a Zumba, weight training type of person. But I decided to give it a shot and although I am still new to it I am LOVING it!
Running, jogging, walking any type of movement outside is sooo rewarding to the mind, body and soul. I am in the learning process but I must say it feels amazing! It is as if I could just keep going. It is like a "runners high" Yes, my goal is to join my husband in his next 5k. It is only 3 miles but I have set a goal. So hopefully by the Spring I will be ready to go.
Here are some awesome Running Facts:
