Those who run share a special bond in which when we run it can affect how we feel each and everyday. You wake up early in the morning, so tired that you don’t want to get up. But, you know getting up and starting your day off with a nice run always clears your mind and makes you feel more motivated for the whole day. So you get up brush your teeth, get dressed, put those running sneakers on and grab your headphones. While you take the first step out your front door, you take a deep breath of nature and the air. You hear the birds chirping and feel the cold brisk air running through your skin. You take it all in before you put those headphones in, and pick a song that you are ready to jam out to. You start with a slow jog and you start running through a list in your head of everything you need to get done today at school or at your job. Your mind starts spinning in circles, as you think about your family, friends, and love life. With all of these forces, it keeps you motivated and while you think about all of these things, you forget your body is moving and in a way giving you time to yourself in which we don't get much to solve your problems. It is the only time of the day you truly have to yourself and that is why us who run value this time so much. Running has so many benefits and only helps you feel like a more confident YOU.

16. Getting up every morning and going for a run, has been my savior for the past year. I have never felt less stressed out than I do when I run. It releases your endorphins and gets' your whole body moving, you feel "free." It lets’ you forget about everything and lets’ you enjoy the beautiful life you live. They say if you free your mind, then everything else in life will follow. Take care of your mental and physical health first. I wholeheartedly believe in that. Running is what does that for me. <3
