That moment. You know, the one where your thoughts stop racing… where you stop thinking about how much it hurts or how (insert emotion here) you are, and you just … fly. You are in the moment- and nothing else in the whole world matters. That’s why.

Running is my therapy. For years I struggled to cope with anxiety and depression. I tried medications and so many other techniques, but running saved my life. It centers me and allows me to leave it all on the road.
Caroline
It’s time for me. No calls, texts, emails, social media. Just me and nature. My thoughts, my breath, my body. I feel everything and nothing. I think about everything and nothing. It makes me feel strong, accomplished, powerful, yet humbles me every single time. It both scares me and soothes me. And it is always there for me. No matter where I travel I can run. When I come back from any injury or illness, I can lace those puppies up and get back out there. And whether I tackle another marathon, half marathon or run ‘just’ a few miles…it totally counts.
Tess Reed Dippo
Best cure for anxiety <3
Virginia
The endorphins!

I started running because I wanted to get in better shape. I started running faster and longer because I wanted to test my limits. Running is a part of my everyday life and centers me. I’m not in a bad mood very often but if I am, nothing gets me out of one better than an hour of running.

Running is my “yell it out” time. It’s the only time I can raise my voice, out in the middle of nowhere, blow some steam, and people already thinking I’m crazy for running. They’ll just think I’m crazier.

It makes my wife happy!
