TT: Things I’ve Learned to Love About Running


This week’s topic is: Things You’ve Learned to Love About Running

  • It’s always challenging.

Short races are just as hard as long distances.

  • Finishing is Winning

The only goal you really need to accomplish is crossing that finish line.

  • The People

Some of my closest friends are those I’ve met since I became a runner.

  • Race-Cations

I rarely ever to go anywhere without considering running a race while I’m there.  It just adds to the excitement of the trip.

  • Getting Me Outside in All Temps

I hate the cold but as runner, I will go out in below zero temps and when it’s snowing.

  • I Feel Healthier.

I never (knock on wood) get sick.

  • It doesn’t end once you reach a certain age.

Unlike a gymnast or tennis pro, you can compete as long as you are able.

  • Age Group Awards

Sometimes you just have to show up.

  • Clothes Matter.

I’m sure it’s no surprise that I always match my outfit.

Happy Running! What have YOU learned to love about running? Please share.

  1. I think shorter races are harder than longer distances because I feel the pressure to be faster, lol! I hope I am able to run for years and years to come! I love that you match your outfit, I am very boring with that!

  2. Oh God… shorter races kill me. I would say the main thing I’ve learned to love about running is that there are so many different directions you can go with it. You can do trail races, or relays, or 5Ks, or 50Ks… so if one part of it isn’t working, you can pivot to something else and still keep running.
    Looking forward to seeing you! I’ll text you later today : )
