I am 17 years old girl and I love running more then anything else. It feels so amazing when I close my eyes and let the wind take me further. I run because its fun! I enjoy having a good workout and doing what's best for my body. Running definitely helps with health and at my young age I want to stay healthy and stay fit. I hope many people start doing it because it can change your life!
Why do I love running ?
Running makes you smarter. (We are all well aware that exercise increases brain activity, but scientists have also discovered that hundreds of thousands of new cells are created in the brain’s grey matter (that area of the mind that controls memory and learning) after running for only a few days! )
Running keeps me happy. Running clears my mind and gives me the energy to take on the day.
Running makes me feel healthy. Running helps you live longer.
It’s simple. There’s no complicated equipment required save a pair of shoes and maybe a water bottle. You can run wherever in the world you happen to be just head out the door.
It gives me time to think. Running allows your mind to wander without being interrupted.
Because I get out into nature. Much of my running I do in a national park, surrounded by flora and fauna. Just being outside is an end in itself.
My tips for running
1) Wear good running shoes 2) Warm up, then stretch
3) Hydrate! In cold weather and warm.
