Recently I've discovered running is a stress reliever. A half an hour run helps me de-stress, calm down and afterwards I always feel much better. So when someone asks me why I run I say for me.
I don't run to look good for anyone or to keep up with anyone I run to keep myself feeling good and, let's be honest, to feel sane. And that's the reason you should do anything.
This is a post aimed at my new years resolution to be healthier but I think there's a general message to all areas of life here. If you're not doing something because you want to - don't do it. Do it for you and for your happiness.
I did start running because I wanted to loose a few pounds, and still have a couple more pounds to lose before I hit my ideal weight but I am so happy with the stress relieving bi-product. Not only has running made me healthier physically but also mentally.
Anyway this week, I'm going to aim to get three runs in, two workouts and possibly a Zumba class of Friday if my mum doesn't flake on me again. Also no snacks between meals. Shall I cry now or later?
What are you going to do to be healthy this week?
