Running has done so much for me the past 5 years. It has helped me lose and keep off 50 pounds. It has given me self confidence. I never thought I could run a marathon and then I did- 8 so far! I never thought I would get fast enough to BQ- and then I did. The people I have met, the places I have traveled, all because of running. It also helps to keep my anxiety at a level I can function with!!
Holly Gibb
It boosts my mood, clears my mind and heals my heart.

The zen .. and the places the trails/road take me!

I love that I’m able to run – due to a chronic illness that wasn’t always the case. It makes me feel so alive, and it majes me happy and relaxed :-)

I love having something that can consistently clear my mind and reset me for the day. I especially love a good Friday evening run to clear away the work week and get me ready for the weekend. Fun fact, I met my now-fiancé online on a Friday night after an AWFUL day. I was super grouchy when I got home. I think the only reason I felt good enough to even browse online dating sites that night was the magic of the 4 mile run I went on after work! :)
Erica
I love that it can relax and energize me at the same time!
Ann
I love “me” time.

Thank you so much for such an easy-to-enter- giveaway!
Something I love about running is just being outside in the fresh air, alone, with music in my ears, and just feeling free, like I’m flying. I haven’t been able to run in a really lone time for a variety of reasons, and I miss it dearly. I can’t wait to start up again. <3 <3 <3

Running melts away the anxiety I’ve felt over the last year and a half. It’s so easy (and cheaper than therapy)… just put on shoes and go. The stress (almost literally) melts away as I put in the miles.
