If you're a runner you probably know that not too many people understand us. Yes, we like to run for fun and enjoy pushing ourselves in workouts to the point where we are going to throw up. Although for the most part running is fun, it also comes with a few struggles.


1. Waiting for your GPS watch to find it's location

Longest 2 minutes ever.


2. Being too sore between lift and running to walk.

HELP!



3.Training alone during winter break.

BORING. #imissmyteammates



4. Eating but being hungry by the time your race comes.

Run hungry, taste victory, right?


5. Having to go to the bathroom while on a run.

NOOO NOO NOO


6. Having to wake up at the crack of dawn in the summer to get a run in.

Or you could run in the 90 degree weather. It's really up to you.



7. Seeing road kill on your run or worse finding a dead body.

EWWWW


8. Always wanting new running clothes, shoes and spikes.

I don't want them, I NEED them.




9. Having to run on the treadmill or inside if the weather is bad.

I am a little hamster.



10. Having to listen to people say running isn't a sport.

Ok, you wouldn't last a day.


11. Dealing with people at the local track who like to walk in lane one, while you're doing a workout.

See the other 5 lanes? Please use one.


12. Sock tans and sports bra tan lines.

It's a great look.


13. Almost dying during a workout or race.

Sometimes its that bad.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
